Ammo Jetty - Western Australia - South

The Ammo Jetty is one of those sites we always recommend, especially for a relaxed afternoon. It’s a shore entry, easy as, just walk in and follow the pylons out. Max depth is only 9m, so you get heaps of bottom time, which is good because you'll want it. The real magic here is in the details, all those little critters hiding on the pylons and in the sand. We've found so many ornate, tiny nudibranchs, and the pygmy squid are usually out if you look closely. It's also an incredible spot for octopus – we often see half a dozen on a single dive, sometimes even mating. Finding a seahorse here feels like winning the lottery, but they are around, tucked into the seagrass. Our top tip? Go slow. Really slow. Bring a good macro lens if you're into photography, because the visibility can be a bit variable, sometimes 4m, sometimes pushing 8m on a good day, but it’s always worth it for the critters. Keep an eye out for fishing lines, it is a popular spot with anglers. This is a perfect dive for anyone who loves finding the small stuff, or just wants a cruisy dive without much fuss.
