Diving can be done off the Noarlunga reef
just in southern suburbs of Adelaide
(NO Coral though)
try "googling" for dive shops in Adelaide.
Lots of day a nd half day toursto all the touristy spots.
Places like Flinders Ranges Kangaroo Island,
you can get from one day up to week tours.

Hi All -

Just found out I will be working on a consulting engagement for 5-7 weeks
in
Adelaide beginning the first of February. Obviously, never having been to
Australia before, I want to mix in as much sightseeing as possible.

I am a certified diver, so I definitely want to do some diving along the
Barrier Reef. Any suggestions for local dive shops would be much
appreciated. Plus the best beaches to hit for scenery and fun?

I'd also like to dedicate a weekend to getting out into the Outback and
hiking, roughing it, etc in the Australian "wilderness". Is it realistic
that I can find weekend trips out of Adelaide? Any tours I should look
at?

I also want to visit the wine country, so any suggestions of areas or
tours
would be much appreciated.

Thanks -

Jen
