Zabargad Jetty
Why dive here
Zabargad Jetty is a reef dive where divers can encounter dolphins, humpback whales, oceanic whitetip sharks, sea turtles and spinner dolphins. Water ranges 23-31°C, warmest July, August, September.
Zabargad Jetty offers a unique chance to spot pelagics right from shore. We’ve seen Long-beaked Dolphins cruise past and even had a False killer whale sighting here. It’s not about coral, but if you’re patient and keep an eye on the blue, it’s a great spot for those hoping to tick off some bigger marine mammals. It’s certainly a change of pace from the usual reef dives.
