Description:

This is an impressive site, with two distinct places to dive.  The first and most obvious is the actual Jetty that protects the ferry landing.  Of course, only dive on the open side of the Jetty.  The other dive site is an old set of pilings (sometimes referred to as the "Wharf").  The pilings are covered in life.

This site is very current sensitive.  On our second dive to the pilings, we had to crawl along the bottom grabbing onto rocks to avoid getting swept away.  Luckily, if the current had caught us, it would have deposited us back at the jetty.
