    I’m in Mt Gambier for a few weeks to dive all the incredible sinkholes in the area. I’m also here to run Deep Weekend in Kilsby Sinkhole! This is by far the best place to dive in Australia. Crystal clear waters, stunning light and scenery. There are very few places in the world that are like it.

    I’ll be freediving several different sinkholes in South Australia over the next few weeks so keep your eyes peeled!
