Shallow macro jetty dive at sheltered Woodman Point.
Shallow macro jetty dive at sheltered Woodman Point.
Ammo Jetty is a sheltered shore-entry dive at Woodman Point where shaded piles, sand patches, and bits of weed growth reward slow macro laps more than big-distance swims. It suits newer divers and photographers on calm days, but the same public-jetty setting means you need to stay alert for fishing lines, nearby vessels, and wind-driven surface chop.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Display a dive flag when diving from shore or the jetty, stay close to the piles, and keep watching for fishing lines and nearby vessel movement.
Access Restrictions
No permit or entry fee was identified, but Ammo Jetty is a shared public jetty rather than a segregated dive-only site, so it is best avoided during heavy fishing activity.
Legal Notes
WA diving guidance requires a clearly visible International Code Flag A when divers are in the water, and vessels should keep 50 metres clear where possible.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A shallow dive with a gradual slope and a max depth around 9 m, focused on inspecting the jetty pylons.
Snorkeling
Ammo Jetty also works as a snorkel spot in settled weather, especially around the inner structure where snorkellers can inspect weed, piles, and small fish without a long swim.
