Escape to Second Valley Beach for a guided snorkel in Encounter Marine Park. Our professional snorkel leaders and marine biologists will help you explore the jetty, reef and seagrass beds—areas that have been impacted by the recent harmful algal bloom, with fewer fish and invertebrates than usual, but still home to blue devilfish, leafy seadragons (last leafy spotted by EMS in September 2025), reef fish and other resilient marine life. With depths ranging from 2–4 m, this relaxed, supported snorkel is a chance to witness first-hand how the reef is coping and beginning to recover, while learning about the challenges facing our Great Southern Reef.
Your ticket includes quality wetsuits and snorkel gear for adults and children (sizes from Adult 5XL to Child 4). All wetsuits are washed and masks/snorkels sterilised between uses. Suitable for confident swimmers aged 5+. Children under 15 must be accompanied by a parent/adult (max ratio 1 adult : 2 children).
Discover South Australia’s iconic seadragon country—safe, educational and unforgettable.
Safety first: EMS actively monitors local Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) reports and water-quality advisories for Second Valley and the wider Encounter Marine Park. If conditions are unsafe, we’ll cancel or reschedule your tour and notify you promptly; guests will be offered a new date or a full refund per our weather/water-quality policy. Your health—and the reef’s—always comes
