Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Punctual, knowledgeable and inspired confidence.
We had not dived for a couple of years and doing this refresher with Ashley ticked all the boxes. We did our skills and then proceeded to explore Rapid Bay Jetty. We will definitely dive with Diving Adelaide again.
They were also very honest when I took our gear in for a service and recommended another service company, as they were not going to be able to do it in our time frame.

The dive trip to see the leafy sea dragons was worth every cent I spent with Diving Adelaide! After initially telling me they couldn’t accommodate me on the one day I could do the dive, they got back to me and said they could work it out. The amazing Emma was my dive guide. She equipped me the day before the dive, helped advise me on purchases I wanted to make, and then was an amazing guide once at Rapid Bay and looking for the “leafies “! Although there is no guarantee, she found 6 as well as 2 nudibranchs and a squid. She also went above and beyond by helping me get the wet suit over my shoulders during removal. She helped me check off a 35 year old bucket list item, and it was truly worth the wait! Thanks, Emma and Diving Adelaide!

I booked a guided night dive with Mia Santina and had a fabulous time! I was a bit nervous at first since I was not familiar with night diving, but she made me feel comfortable. She was a personable and fun person to dive with, and the reef/jetty at night was dope too! I have a few buddies who took their open water cert course with this company with similar compliments. I recommend diving with Diving Adelaide!

Steve is the best! Had such an awesome time with him during my advanced course. Always made me feel super comfortable underwater and taught me how to pee at 30m deep! Thanks Steve you’re a legend

After trying to find a leafy sea dragon without a guide in 2022, we returned, this time with the services of Lachlen - dive guide at Diving Adelaide. Best money spent, he knew exactly the spot where a current breeding pair of leafy sea dragons reside. There is was also a third dragon we spotted. Lachlen was safe with his assessment of when to turn back, but took on board our ability and air consumption, so we could get the most possible from our 4 dives. His navigation of the jetty is on point and he is easy to chat to on the drive to and from. All in all a great experience - thanks Lachlan and Diving Adelaide.

Just finished a spectacular dive to complete my Open Water divers course under the amazing Edithburgh Jetty. Kym and Izzy were awesome! Kyms knowledge of the areas (Noarlunga and Edithburgh) was great, and his personality made the course really enjoyable. Loved it! Will definitely be back for my advanced course.

Had a wonderful experience with Dive Master Kris. He was very patient with us in sharing his knowledge and experiences. He made sure that all of us learn what are needed to dive, as well as, making us comfortable and to enjoy the dives. Looking forward to enjoy future adventures under the sea. Thank you Diving Adelaide!!!

I first used these guys 12 months ago when they pulled out all stops to help me get a prescription mask made up and delivered (with very short notice) in time for a snorkelling trip, even though I live 1200kms away.
Now 12 months later and wanting to buy diving gear, their online prices were still the absolute best anywhere, but I had a lot of questions about the gear I planned to buy - so I contacted them directly through their site. Their replies were crazy fast, their responses to even my dumbest questions were patient, well informed, and they gave good real world examples to back their recommendations, which weren’t based on the dearest products - in fact not one recommendation was ever the dearest option - and the two packages they helped me put together for my wife and I are fantastic.
Even if you can’t get to their real life store, you’ll get great real life assistance remotely via their online store and email. Very highly recommend them. They’ll definitely look after you well.

I did a 2 dive private tour at Rapid bay jetty. My dive guide / Instructor was Chris and if he couldn't find Leafy Sea dragon's then no one can, he was excellent, very thorough and never gave up looking for stuff to show me. The tour included a 3 hr round trip drive to the dive site and all the equipment. We were very lucky and saw 8 dragons, 4 or 5 cuttlefish, a blue ringed octopus, 2 nudibranchs and a frog fish.
I highly recommend these guys.. You do need to bring your own food and drink though. Some complimentary water would have been good.

Hi we are dive master qualified , how much for a fun dive?

Hi!
Our fun dives are all shore dives. If your DMs, we're happy to draw you a map so you can explore the sites by yourself, as our best dive sites are all jetties, so they're easy to navigate!
That way, you would just pay for rental and not for a guide.
A full rental set with 2 tanks is $75.
Best regards,
Denise
