Shallow Goa jetty dive with tropical fish, corals, and minimal current.
The Jetty is a shallow boat-access dive in Goa, centered on the broken remains of an old jetty over sand and scattered rock. It is a classic introductory site: the bottom stays simple, currents and surge are usually mild, and the structure attracts juvenile fish, shrimp gobies, nudibranchs, corals, and plenty of tropical reef life.
