is back at Whyalla this winter 2023 with various experiences for the adventurous. Each year between June and August, the Australian Giant Cuttlefish aggregate in the waters of Spencer Gulf in huge numbers and you have the opportunity to witness this unique underwater phenomenon.



Whyalla Diving Services offer small-group guided tours departing from Stony Point in Point Lowly. A trained guide will be with you as you swim with the cuttlefish. Alternatively, you can hire a snorkel kit and wet suit and snorkel or dive anytime. Bookings can be made online via their website . Prices vary depending on the type of tour you're interested in.



Another organisation that offers tours is Experiencing Marine Sanctuaries . Their intimate snorkels are led by nationally accredited guides and last for up to 90 minutes including suiting up, briefing, etc. A marine biologist will also be on hand to answer any questions as you learn more about the cuttlefish's blue blood and colourful mating rituals. Again, please head to their website for bookings.



For those who prefer not to get wet, you'll love the glass-bottom boat tours by Cuttys which allow people of all ages to peer into the world of the cuttlefish whilst staying dry. Up to six tours are available per day. The cost is $59 per adult, $39 per child and $179 per family. More information can be found on their website or Facebook page .



You can also enjoy a free virtual dive of the Great Southern Reef at Whyalla Yacht Club , join a free walking tour of the saltmarsh at Eight-Mile Creek Beach , learn how to draw the cuttlefish with visiting Sydney artist Sue Liu at Whyalla Public Library , experience a dive with the cuttlefish via VR goggles at Roopena Football and Sporting Club , and celebrate at the twilight community event in Ada Ryan Gardens . The full program is available on the website.
