La Jetée, Carriacou is a shallow jetty dive in Hillsborough, with an easy-town-pier feel and plenty of life packed close to the structure. It is best as a relaxed shore dive for buoyancy practice and easy exploration, with grunts, moray eels, scorpionfish, juvenile Caribbean lobsters, cleaner shrimps, and octopus around the jetty. The site stays compact and close to the action rather than spreading into a long reef run.
