Post I Jetty

Don’t let the name fool you. Post I Jetty, a spot we’ve come to appreciate more and more, isn’t about some grand coral wall. It’s an unassuming little pier in Candidasa that packs a surprising punch, especially if you’re into the small, weird stuff. We love it for its sheer density of macro life. Think nudibranchs in every colour imaginable, often just inches from each other. You’ll find a huge variety of gobies, blennies, and some truly bizarre flatheads tucked into the rubble. The jetty piles themselves are encrusted with delicate soft corals and an impressive number of those classic clown anemonefish, but the real magic is in the sand and the scattered debris. We’ve spent whole dives in a 10-meter radius here, finding something new with every pass. Our favourite part has to be the sheer volume of tiny critters – it’s a paradise for photographers with macro lenses. This site is perfect for divers who are happy to slow down, hover, and really examine the nooks and crannies. It’s not for speed demons, but for those who appreciate the miniature wonders of the ocean, Post I Jetty delivers.
