Busselton Jetty and Underwater Sculptures - Snorkel

Busselton Jetty Offers Spectacular Underwater Adventure

Marine enthusiasts can discover one of Western Australia’s most celebrated aquatic destinations at Busselton Jetty. Extending approximately 1.8 kilometres into the ocean, the historic structure is recognized as the longest timber piled jetty in the Southern Hemisphere and has evolved into one of Australia’s most impressive artificial reef systems.

Beneath the jetty lies a thriving underwater world inhabited by more than 300 marine species. Colorful fish, corals, and sponges flourish among the timber pylons, creating a vibrant ecosystem that attracts divers, snorkelers, and underwater photographers throughout the year. The addition of an underwater sculpture trail has further enhanced the experience, blending marine life with artistic installations beneath the sea.

With a maximum depth of around nine metres, the site is accessible to participants of varying experience levels. Snorkelers, freedivers, and certified scuba divers can comfortably explore the reef, while those new to diving can enjoy introductory experiences in a controlled and welcoming environment. The calm conditions also make it an excellent location for refresher dives and skills practice.

Combining natural beauty, marine biodiversity, and historical significance, Busselton Jetty offers a unique opportunity to experience Western Australia’s coastal treasures. Whether observing marine life, exploring underwater sculptures, or taking a first dive beneath the iconic structure, visitors are rewarded with an unforgettable glimpse into one of the region’s most remarkable underwater landscapes.
