    What an adventure swimming and snorkelling in Ewens Ponds and Piccaninnie Ponds! With their incredible structure, crystal clear water, and almost alien algae, these places are so otherworldly! While I was in Mt Gambier snorkelled these spots a few times and really got the chance to explore their nooks and crannies.
    Safe to say this is just another reason why Mt Gambier is South Australia is one of the most amazing dive locations on the planet. We are so lucky to have it so close to us!

    it's amazing how it looks as if the place is small but when you compare a human beside the landscape you come to realize how big the area really is. such a beautiful place, thank you for sharing this with those who are unable to go

      I would definitely go to the pond cause there’s not really fear for me there, I’m scared of dark water and the creatures that live but it’s just crystal clear water and there doesn’t seem to be any large creatures and it’s gorgeous

      You can do it. Take it slow, start in a pool with a mask, fins and snorkel. Just work on getting comfortable. It could take time but what do you have to loose and look at all you can gain. I was about 10 years old when I went to the beach in California. I was swimming in the surf with a mask and fins. I was afraid to put my face underwater and open my eyes. But I tried it once. I saw all the kelp, it was dark looking underwater. It scared the crap out of me. I could not look underwater unless it was in a pool. But I have wanted to scuba dive almost all my life. Because my dad did it and I would watch Cousteau on tv. I eventually took a scuba class and got over my fear. You can do it.

    I was put onto this by CZcams algorithm. It looks amazing! The clarity is absolutely crystal, and I love watching this. I'm a total novice, I love the water and try to swim at every opportunity. I have a short wetsuit, snorkel and fins and I live near a lake. Theres shallows and the clarity is pretty good. I also would love to travel and dive lakes too.

    I holiday down in Portland a lot and alot I come up to Ewen Ponds for a dive and I have to say you NEED to come back on the right day. When you get the right day summer day you can throw 20c coins and can watch it fall all the way to the bottom the water is so clear. On these days all the fish are out and its amazing-same with Piccaninnie.

    Great viddy! You should go diving out in the Kimberly in WA! If you go to a remote enough place (like sections to f the Drysdale or Carson rivers you can see tons of freshies, and the black brim are so sheltered from humans they’ll come and start nibbling on you like one of those weird fish pedicures. They’re pretty dumb fish-an unbaited hook is all you need to catch them, but, lucky for them, they taste pretty rubbish.
