Corinella Jetty (aka Corinella Pier) is located at the end of Peters Street, Corinella, Victoria, on the eastern side of Western Port. It's a sturdy platform made from concrete and wood. At the end of the jetty, the structure takes a right-hand turn and runs parallel to the shore for around 20 metres before leading down onto a lower platform.

This dive site usually has pretty horrible visibility, but may be of interest to fossickers.

Currents are a major factor when trying to dive at Corinella Jetty. Strong tidal currents swirl through the jetty pylons. Best dived on slack water, preferably at the end of an incoming flood tide.

See WillyWeather (Corinella Ferry Terminal) as a guide for the tide times and the height of the tide.

Boon Wurrung / Bunurong country

Traditional Owners — This dive site is in the traditional Country of the Boon Wurrung / Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation. This truly ancient Country includes parts of Port Phillip, from the Werribee River in the north-west, down to Wilson's Promontory in the south-east, including the Mornington Peninsula, French Island and Phillip Island, plus Western Port. We wish to acknowledge the Boon Wurrung as Traditional Owners. We pay respect to their Ancestors and their Elders, past, present and emerging. We acknowledge Bunjil the Creator Spirit of this beautiful land, who travels as an eagle, and Waarn, who protects the waterways and travels as a crow, and thank them for continuing to watch over this Country today and beyond.

DISCLAIMER: No claim is made by The Scuba Doctor as to the accuracy of the dive site coordinates listed here. Should anyone decide to use these GPS marks to locate and dive on a site, they do so entirely at their own risk. Always verify against other sources.

The marks come from numerous sources including commercial operators, independent dive clubs, reference works, and active divers. Some are known to be accurate, while others may not be. Some GPS marks may even have come from maps using the AGD66 datum, and thus may need be converted to the WGS84 datum. To distinguish between the possible accuracy of the dive site marks, we've tried to give each mark a source of GPS, Google Earth, or unknown.
