The dive

Bakers Cave is one of the sites with a hard entry, so plan time and ropework.

How to get there

On a private dairy farm; on the property only between 08:00 and 14:00, no compressors. A ~1 m tube drops 16 m to the water: you climb down a free-hanging 15 m wire ladder, past an overhanging wall. Someone who has dived it before leads the team, and one person stays at the top. CDAA rating: Cave.

Certification requirements, configurations and trimix depths are estimates for planning. Always check them locally and dive within your training. Compiled from web research (Oct 2026): the Cave Divers Association of Australia (site list, site pages, training and visitor permit), Parks SA, Forestry SA, Wikipedia, the heritage summary of Fossil Cave, cavediving.net.au, CDG reports (caves.org.au), Divernet (2025), the City of Mount Gambier, the Royal Adelaide Hospital, DAN and the dive shops' own websites. Pins only where Wikipedia gives coordinates; the CDAA publishes none. The certification per site is an estimate from the CDAA rating; you always need that CDAA rating as well. Check everything with the CDAA.
