Dive-site story
Located off the coast of Kri Island in the Dampier Strait, Yenkoranu Jetty serves as a vibrant house reef dive combining artificial jetty structures with a sloping coral wall. Wooden pilings attract schooling baitfish, while the sandy bottom beneath shelters nocturnal creatures and macro life. As you drift away from the pier, the site transitions into dense hard coral gardens and seafan-covered bommies populated by reef sharks and turtles.
Congregations of schooling fish and sweetlips sheltering among the wooden jetty pilings
Wobbegong sharks resting on coral tables and tucked into sandy recesses

Excellent dusk and night diving opportunities for critters and crustacean activity
