Eyre Peninsula, SA
Tumby Bay Jetty sits on the Spencer Gulf coast of the eastern Eyre Peninsula, 45 km north of Port Lincoln. It is one of South Australia's classic shore-entry jetty dives, with a resident leafy seadragon colony on the pylons and a steady catalogue of stingrays, seamoths, pipefish and nudibranchs around the structure. The dive is shallow, calm, and well-suited to Open Water divers with patient observation skills. There is no dive shop in town; bring your own kit or hire from Port Lincoln.
Visibility at Tumby Bay Jetty typically ranges from 3 to 8 metres, though it shifts with swell, wind and recent rainfall. October–May generally offers the best conditions for diving here.
Right now: approximately 12 m, 98% confidence (updated 13:38 AEST).
