About this dive site

This dive site offers a unique and historically rich experience. It’s a favorite shore diving location featuring three World War I and World War II shipwrecks, providing incredible exploration opportunities for divers of all levels. The maximum depth at high tide is 12 meters, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced divers. If weather conditions are unfavorable, an alternative dive site – the SS Reginald (another British WW1 shipwreck) – is accessible just across a barrier. This location provides fascinating insights into maritime history and offers varied diving experiences within a shallow environment.
