About this site
The Jetty sits at Padang Bai on the east coast of Bali, near the harbor used by ferries running to Lombok, with the site running along the pier structure that gives it its name and a short shore entry from the small port town. It's a beginner dive to around 20 metres over a sand bottom, with light current and good visibility making it a popular spot for muck diving. The site is known for its macro life, with frogfish, nudibranchs, octopus, pipefish, rhinopias, scorpionfish, seahorses, and stonefish regularly found around the pilings and sand. Divers have also reported batfish, cuttlefish, ghost pipefish, ornate ghost pipefish, leaf scorpionfish, mantis shrimp, lionfish, grouper, pufferfish, snapper, reef sharks, and even mola mola here. Debris around the jetty structure is a recognised hazard, and some divers have also noted fishing line and nets in the area, along with swell that can make buoyancy tricky in places.
