Piccaninnie Ponds diving S1652-305

But the absolute highlight of the Mt Gambier adventure came on the final day when we went free diving at Piccaninnie Ponds. You need a permit from the national parks to dive this spot which we organised on Australia day morning and we had the site with just two other scuba divers for an hour of swimming in what I can only describe as a underwater rainforest. The water was super cold but possibly the clearest fresh water I have ever been in. The pinnacle moment came when we swam through the green plants and came directly over the top of a cavern that drops 150 meters into the deep blue….. Breathtaking … we will be back to check out more of this amazing place!!
