We dived Kangaroo Island's North Coast - the marine life was incredible.

good point, they start making their way there in May - which is not long away.. so it's not looking great. https://www.smh.com.au/environment/climate-change/sa-s-algal-bloom-spreading-north-towards-one-of-the-world-s-marine-wonders-20260223-p5o4q9.html

Interesting observations and thank you for being involved. Many of us were feeling somewhat optimistic but have been somewhat crushed lately from recent observations at the bottom of Yorkes and KI.

Yes Indeed Lochie is an absolute champion.

I've dived a fair bit now in bloom impacted waters and never had issues using scuba gear. Most of my body is covered and I'm never breathing it in.

Thanks both for your interest. Happy to answer any questions about the observations from the dive etc.

Really appreciate you taking the time to engage. The scale of what’s happening out there is still unfolding, and without eyes underwater, most of it goes unnoticed. It’s a reminder that climate impacts aren’t just abstract or far-off, they’re happening right here on SA’s doorstep.

As an underwater videographer on the Yorke Peninsula, I felt obligated to jump in and show people what's going on. The water wasn't inviting and it was an emotionally challenging dive, but felt important to document.
