Jetty Dive Centre is a dive operator based in Coffs Harbour, New South Wales, offering guided dives, snorkelling trips, whale watching and a broad range of PADI training courses. Operating from local launch points, the centre runs boat dives and snorkel trips to the Solitary Islands Marine Park, a protected area known for diverse marine life.
The business provides beginner experiences such as Discover Scuba Diving, refresher programs, and PADI entry-level courses, alongside more advanced training including Advanced Open Water, Deep Diver, Rescue Diver and specialised programs like Enriched Air Nitrox and Shark Awareness. Many courses include online theory, pool sessions and guided ocean dives, and some certifications offer lifetime access to PADI digital materials.
Instruction is delivered by PADI-qualified instructors and structured in small groups to maximise individual attention during pool training and ocean dives. Equipment hire is available for many trips, and boat trips typically include on-board provisions such as snacks and morning tea for snorkel and dive passengers.
Trip offerings vary by season and include single and double dives to North and South Solitary Islands, targeted marine identification courses, and whale watching excursions when in season. Jetty Dive Centre emphasises safety practices, dive planning and local marine awareness during every activity to support positive underwater experiences for new and returning divers.
The centre also runs specialised short sessions such as fish identification workshops and snorkel-focused trips, with trained guides providing interpretation of marine species and habitat notes during each outing to enhance visitor learning and enjoyment safely.
