About this dive site

This dive site is located right off the beach in Brighton. It presents a challenging but rewarding experience for experienced divers who have prior UK diving experience. The maximum depth reachable is 10 meters. Divers will initially need to swim over sand before encountering lovely reefs teeming with marine life. These reefs offer opportunities to observe spider crabs, swimmer crabs, lesser spotted catsharks, flounder, undulate rays, shark and ray egg cases, nudibranchs, anemones, and sponges. Due to potential boat traffic, a Surface Marker Buoy (SMB) is required. Parking is available for £1.50 per day.
