When you dive on a shipwreck, jetty or pier do you consider it a nature-based experience? This is one of the major questions I am seeking to address in my PhD thesis at the University of Newcastle, which looks at the use of artificial reefs as resources for recreational scuba diving.
A four-hour drive west of Adelaide, Whyalla is a seaside mining town is known as the place “where the outback meets the sea”. To divers, Whyalla is known as Australia’s Cuttlefish Mecca. Each winter thousands of Australian Giant Cuttlefish (Sepia apama) gather in the shallow waters around Whyalla to mate.
