2nd January 2026- First Dive of 2026 Did Not Dissappoint
South Solitary's conditions were extremely pleasant for todays dive! Mega Wild cruised out with a full boat to enjoy the summer diving we had in front of us. With warm water around 23 C and visibility out to about 20 m, it was easy to scan the bottom of the ocean floor and gutters below the…

Merry Christmas Eve from the team at Jetty Dive! Today we shot out to South Solitary for a double dive in true Christmas Spirit!

18th December 2025- Devil Ray in Exciting Current

14th December 2025- First Leopard of the Serason
Well, South Sol really showed off today! We were gently reminded of why we love diving here so much. Its diversity in marine life is truly incredible. It's not often that we see such variety of marine animals, both tropical and subtropical, in one day! We ended the weekend with a bang, just before the Southerly…
13th December 2025- Heeeeere Fishy Fishy
We got out again today and took advantage of the beautiful conditions we have had lately. Our first dive was at Buchanans Wall, and our second was a drift from Shark Gutters to the Gantry! We covered some distance on the island today, and it was totally worth it with the amount of marine life we…
12th December 2025- Hammerheads in Summer Waters!
We thought if we were going to get wet from the rain, we might as well be wet in the ocean! So we steamed out to South Solitary for a double dive. Optimistic that we would have good conditions, we were pleased when we arrived and found blue water that was nearly 23 degrees! Dive one…
