@Bluey, no haven't been to SA much, the weather is too much like what we have!! Our holidays are normally further north on the coast, kids and hubby kite surf and windsurf. I'm trying to get them to go inland more! Its pushing uphill!!! No didn't dive in Ewen Ponds on the last trip, checked it out though, but I did dive there years and years ago when I was younger. Yes I love SA, Port McDonald, Nelson etc, hoping to get there in the next 12 months - Easter time next year would be good. Kids and hubby complain about the cold water though!!! Speaking of cold water, have you been to Cape Bridgewater (very picturesque, just outside Portland), we have friends who lived there and visited often - locals call it Fridgewater Bay - I have never known water so cold.
