One of the most popular dives is just off the resort jetty. It's so easy just to jump off the jetty onto the reef and divers staying at Kapalai resort can do as many dives here as they wish. It's also a good spot for night dives and also for snorkellers. 
On the reef here it's possible to see leaf fish, scorpionfish, lionfish and ghost pipefish. Seahorse can also be found along with many nudibranchs. One of the highlights of the jetty is to dive it at dusk and watch for mating mandarin fish.
These beautiful little fish are normally hidden down in the coral rubble but get frisky as the sun goes down and rise of the bottom to mate in mid water before darting pack down to their shelters, a truly awesome spectacle to witness.
