Jenna's Bump is a lesser-known offshore reef dive and snorkel site located off the coast near Batemans Bay on the NSW South Coast. Accessed primarily by local dive charter boats, this submerged reef formation rises from a sandy seafloor, creating a nutrient-rich habitat that attracts schooling fish and occasional larger pelagic visitors. The site offers clear temperate waters over a rocky reef structure with gutters and overhangs, making it an engaging spot for experienced snorkelers and divers who appreciate wild, uncrowded conditions away from the popular shore-entry beaches.

Moderate risk: Open ocean swell exposure
As an offshore reef, Jenna's Bump is exposed to ocean swells that can create surge and challenging conditions, especially on days with southerly winds.
Moderate risk: Strong currents
Tidal currents can run strongly over the reef structure, particularly during outgoing tides, requiring good fitness and experience.
Low risk: Boat traffic
The site is accessed by boat and lies in waters used by recreational and commercial vessels. Snorkelers must maintain situational awareness.
Low risk: Cold water temperatures
Temperate South Coast waters can be cold (14–18°C year-round), increasing the risk of cold shock and hypothermia for inadequately equipped snorkelers.
