Piaynemo Jetty is located on the eastern side of Penemu island, just before the entrance to the lagoon for trekking. This nice easy jetty dive has little to no current and a shallow bottom so can be attempted by all levels of divers.
Marine life here consists of the small things you expect to find in the sand, as that is the majority of the site compared to the small areas of coral and seagrass.
Octopus, robust ghost pipefish, eels, and cuttlefish dominate here. During the day around the jetty pylons you may also see damselfish, anemonefish, angelfish and butterflyfish.
To dive the site, we enter the water in front of the jetty then make our way down to 18 to 20 meters. We keep the sandy slope on our left hand side as we explore the bottom for bizarre macro critters, until it is time top head back up the slope to 5 meters for our safety stop.
