Shore Dives

Bouley Bay

This is the most consistent and most beautiful shore dive on Jersey, and only steps away from Bouley Bay Dive Centre. It offers a very sheltered dive site and can offer calm diving conditions year round, which means it is still diveable when conditions at other sites are not ideal. You can dive the rocks to the West of the bay, the pier, a sandy central area with a mid bay reef, and a rock outcrop known as L'Islet. There is a variety of sea life spotted here such as anemone, anemone shrimp, nudibranch, tube worms, scallops, pollock, bass, pipefish, mullet, flat fish, lobster, crabs and even sea horses have also been spotted. Bouley Bay offers several easy entry and exit points around the bay. Average depths are 5-12 meters depending on the tide.

Bonne Nuit Bay

Entry can be from the pier or the beach. It is another small sheltered bay with a mostly sand bottom. You are likely to see anemone, flat fish and rays. Ideal for a night dive. Average depths are 2-12m depending on the tide.

St. Catherine's Bay

Entry is usually from the slipway and best dived along the breakwater. You will find big boulders, wrasse, crustaceans, anemone and prawns. Average depths are 2-12m depending on the tide.

Ouaisne

On the South coast of Jersey, this site is best dived on a high tide, and offers a great night dive. You are likely to see red mullet and flat fish. Average depths are 2-8m depending on the tide.


Of course these are just a sample of the more commonly dived sites. Diving is also possible in Rozel Bay, Gorey, Greve de Lecq Bay, Corbiere and other smaller bays.
