CONDITIONS:

The Twin Jetties at Montauk are truly one of the best beach dive sites on Long Island. Both East and West Jetties are easily accessible, and both are popular with local divers. Divers will find all types of marine life thriving in and around the large stones. These stones act as a fish haven and provide a solid home on the otherwise empty sand bottom.

Depth of water ranges from five to 25 feet at high tide. According to most local divers with whom I have talked, either the west side of the West Jetty, or out by the point of the West Jetty are the best potential hunting grounds for spear fishing. The East Jetty seems to be the better site for lobstering.

I have also had excellent reports from night divers who never seem to stop raving about the abundance and variety of marine life they have observed at the Montauk Twin Jetties.
