Why Jetty Dive
THE LOCATION
LEARN MOREThe Solitary Islands Marine Park runs for 90 km north starting at Coffs Harbour. The sheltered Island havens are warmer than the coastal waters producing a unique blend of tropical and sub-tropical fish life, hard and soft corals, and spectacular marine life. Diving Coffs Harbour truly does offer more to see than Diving the Barrier Reef.
MEET THE TEAM
LEARN MOREOur qualified team features Master Instructors Mike and Lindsay, Master scuba Diver Instructors Molly and Steve, and instructor Bryce (not present) and with shop staff Deb eager to help! We have a hoard of Divemasters helping lead our dives along with deckies who assist on board!
What You’ll See
Jetty Dive are a cut above the rest… Competent, professional, very organized yet funny and relaxed. Solitary Island blew my mind away for the abundance of marine life – green sea turtle, grey nurse sharks, wobbegong sharks, nudis, scorpion fish, marble ray and I can carry on with the list in just 2 dives.
