The Jetty

This dive site, known as The Jetty, is situated north of St. George’s Island in India. It features the intriguing ruins of an old jetty, which serve as the primary point of interest and navigation for divers. The site is characterized by a sandy bottom interspersed with patches of rocks, providing structural complexity. Its shallow depth and generally mild conditions make it an ideal location for introductory dives and diver training. The Jetty is a thriving nursery for baby fish, making it a lively spot for observing juvenile marine life. Divers can expect to encounter numerous sea cucumbers and various shrimp gobies nestled in the sandy substrate. Patches of rocks are adorned with encrusting coral, adding splashes of color and habitat for smaller creatures. A general abundance of fish congregates around the jetty ruins. The best time to visit this site would typically align with the calmest sea conditions, generally outside of monsoon seasons (e.g., October to May). It is particularly recommended for those new to diving or seeking a relaxed, shallow experience. For freedivers and snorkelers, the site's limited depth and rich macro life offer excellent opportunities for exploration and observation of the underwater ecosystem.
