About this site

The Jetty is a shore dive in East Kalimantan, on the Borneo coast, entered directly from the beach beneath the structure it takes its name from. It reaches a maximum depth of around 18 metres with light current, making it a beginner-friendly site. The muck-style bottom around the pilings is known for macro life, with frogfish, nudibranchs, ornate ghost pipefish, pipefish, and seahorses regularly found here. Divers have also reported barracuda, batfish, flying gurnard, lionfish, mandarinfish, pufferfish, and even rhinopias on occasion. Some rubbish has been noted around the site, consistent with its jetty setting.
