The crystal waters off the Whyalla coast reflect a sense of calmness as you look upon the water, a whole world of natural wonders exist under the depths.

Dancing and piercing through the water, the local Dolphins are like shimmering silver, these beautiful creatures echo the innocence and purity of nature in their friendliness and play. Resident Dolphins often visit inside the Whyalla Marina and can be seen up close from the pontoons.
