About Busselton Jetty
Busselton Jetty is a shallow temperate structure dive where thousands of pylons act like a living artificial reef under one of Western Australia's best-known coastal landmarks. The dive is less about depth than atmosphere: sponge growth, schooling fish, macro life, and the long tunnel-like rhythm of the jetty make it ideal for relaxed laps, photography, training dives, and repeat sessions in sheltered Geographe Bay water.
