About Edithburgh Jetty
Edithburgh Jetty is a classic South Australian shore dive known for packed macro life and easy entry right in town. The dive follows the jetty pylons and shallow dredged water, so navigation is simple and the structure itself becomes the main feature. Entry is from the stairs or ladders, and conditions can change quickly when wind turns east. Photographers come for leafy sea dragons, seahorses, squid, nudibranchs, octopus, and the occasional shark or sea lion.

Access Restrictions
Shore entry via jetty stairs and ladders is the norm; tide height changes how easy the entry and exit feel.
