Vetch’s Pier

Vetch's Pier is a man-made marine structure that curves outwards for about 500 metres. It was a failed £160 000 attempt by Captain James Vetch to build a breakwater, but today it is better known for the large Crayfish, Eels, Octopuses and small tropical reef fish which divers encounter here. Be careful of Scorpionfish and Lionfish, and, due to its shallowness, this dive site has a heavy surge. Vetch's Pier is an ideal place to see a nursery for marine life.
