This dive site is renowned for its iconic Busselton Jetty, offering an easy step entry from a designated platform. Divers navigate around the historic underwater observatory and the jetty piles, which provide abundant marine life habitats. While there's a long walk to the entry point (requiring a trolley for gear), the unique underwater experience makes the effort worthwhile.
The waters around Busselton Jetty teem with diverse marine life. Divers can expect to encounter large pelagic fish, various species of pufferfish, and a remarkable array of nudibranchs, making it a paradise for macro enthusiasts. The jetty piles themselves are often encrusted with corals and other invertebrates, attracting a multitude of reef fish.
This dive site is suitable year-round, with calmer conditions generally found during the warmer months. It's particularly recommended for macro photography due to the abundant small creatures. Both snorkelers and freedivers will find the shallow depths and rich marine life highly rewarding, offering excellent opportunities for observing the unique ecosystem of the jetty.
