Leafy Sea Dragon Tours
Rapid Bay Jetty is well known as one of the best spots for sighting South Australia's marine emblem,
the rare leafy seadragon. These beautiful creatures can be quite elusive as they are extremely well camouflaged in their preferred environment.
Underwater Sports offers Leafy Sea Dragon Tours with a Divemaster experienced in spotting them. We can taylor a tour to suit your needs, but a typical day includes 2 guided jetty dives, transport (from the dive shop or CBD) and all equipment for only $295 for one person.
($250 for one person if you only need tanks).
Add $150 for each additional person ($100 if you only need tanks) (maximum 4 people).*
As well as seadragons, large schools of old wives can also be found under the Rapid Bay jetty along with a wide range of other fish life from tiny gobies to large strongfish. Truncate butterflies, magpie perch, goatfish, many wrasse species, colourful rainbow cale, pufferfish and globefish can all commonly be found. For those that take the time to look (and with a depth of 10m you should have plenty) there are also rarer finds, and an enormous variety of pylon life.
