Dive in South East

The dive site is open lake with a few cargo containers and a subway tube sunk for the deep section along with training platforms and the usual cars and boats as well

Small section of a larger lake great for training and try dives. Silty bottom gets very stirred up when busy so vis is at times almost non existent. A couple of interesting surprises in the water.

11,000 ton French liner, used as troopship. Sunk 6 April, 1945, by a torpedo from U-1195, which lies nearby. 32m deep with wreckage standing upright 14m proud. Piles of steel plates and girders on very large site. Viz can be poor.

Wreck of 530 ton Tree class armed trawler. Badly damaged in an attack by E-boats on 31 January 1944, whilst escorting a convoy 10 miles south east of Beachy Head.

Salt water inland dive site

Wreck of 2266 ton British steamer laden with oranges and lemons. Sank after colliding with German cross-atlantic steamer Washington in fog on 1 March 1901. Nice shallow wreck, wreckage is spreadout, but fish life is pretty good for UK.

Good site for practice and to look at the fishes there and also there a few objects to look at as well.

Dive site is a former river bed. Above the river banks is thought to be the site of a Roman fortress, which had a catapult. In river bed are large stones thought to be shot from the catapult. Dive is a nice drift dive, but beware currents can be strong, sometimes pushing you deeper.

This is the wreck of the P+O liner built in 1888. ALthough currents a minor, watch for tidal effects
