Dive-site story
Bouley Bay sits on the rugged northern coastline of Jersey, serving as the central hub for local scuba diving. Shore entries lead over a pebbled beach and concrete slipway into a sheltered cove framed by high granite cliffs. Divers navigate mixed seabed terrain ranging from dense kelp forests and rocky gullies to open expanses of coarse sand and maerl beds.
Extensive kelp gullies and boulder fields sheltering diverse macro marine life
Reliable sightings of cuttlefish and spider crabs over sandy channels
Sheltered conditions protecting against prevailing southwesterly winds
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
