South Australian Wreck Diving @ The Glenelg Dredge

www.divingadelaide.com.au www.onlinedivegear.com.au The wreck of the Glenelg Dredge (officially "The South Australian") was built in 1911 in The Netherlands and arrived in Adelaide about a year later. It was purposely sunk in 1985 as an artificial reef for divers and fishermen to enjoy. The ship sits in just under 20 metres of water in an upright position and is easy to navigate around. There are big holes in the wreck, so it's easy to penetrate and as the deck sits in approximately 14 metres you can do a nice long dive on it. The site has heaps of bullseyes on it and today when we dived it there were about 10 cuttlefish underneath the wreck! You can also find plenty of the other usual suspects and the wreck itself is covered in soft corals, so there is more than enough to explore. We had about 10 metres visibility on the wreck itself, there were no currents and the water temperature was around 15 degrees Celsius. www.divingadelaide.com.au www.onlinedivegear.com.au Video shot at The South Australian (Glenelg Dredge) South Australia 09/06/2014 (C) Ron van der Marel Divers: Ron van der Marel (Diving Adelaide Owner/Instructor) Shane Lees (Diving Adelaide Divemaster Trainee) Brett Blackwell Chris Rapson This video was shot using a GoPro HERO2 in a dive housing.
