You will be amazed the variety of Marine life! A mixture of fish from the tropics and sub-tropical varieties as well. At the Solitary Islands Marine Park the water is usually much cleaner and warmer because of the East Australian Current.

Large group dive

3.00We’ve dived nth Solitary islands before and loved it. The weather wasn’t great and visibility was poor but we saw sharks, turtles, dolphins, lots of fish, starfish, rays (very cool). There were 21 divers and we crossed each other’s group a few times (messy). We wasted time finding each other and getting sorted. Our 2nd dive, our guide got lost and we circled a wasteland area twice (frustrating). And we were limited to one cookie, one jelly snake by staff between dives.
An amazing adcenture

5.00This was an amazing experience. It was only my second dive but the Dive Master Lindsay was so patient and calm. The current was a little strong on our first dive but I saw these sharks, one was a Grey Nurse. Amazing! Our second dive was a lot calmer and more enjoyable. We saw many beautiful fish and turtles. I will definitely be going again soon!
Professional crew. Excellent boat.

5.00This was my second trip with the team at Jetty Dive and I will be returning for a third as soon as I can. Today we got to see heaps of Grey Nurse Sharks, Leopard Sharks and massive Marble Rays. Well organised from start to finish, knowledgeable and friendly Divemasters providing lots of information about each dive site. Can’t wait to get back. Thanks again guys.
Epic diving!

5.00We had such a magical and memorable day of diving at North Solitary Island with the Jetty Dive crew. We were hoping to spot a Leopard shark, but were treated to a sea safari of seven! The visibility was out of this world - way better than the Maldives. Ash was an outstanding guide and is to be commended on his obvious diving passion, as well as his ability to spot an Angel fish transitioning into adulthood. We were so privileged to experience this! This was well worth the trek from Adelaide and we wholeheartedly recommend diving with the Jetty Dive Team. They are second to none!
Making my advanced open water training easy!

5.00The dive team at Jetty Dive are expertly proficient, thorough, courteous with every customer. I have dived with them so many times, the team have become friends. I would highly recommend diving with Jetty Dive when travelling to Coffs Harbour south Solitary Island is a rare jewel to dive with large aggregations of Grey Nurse Sharks, turtles, coral, butterflyfish. A great mix of tropical and temperate water makes South Sokitary Island a premier dive spot Coudos to Jetty Dive Stellar team
