On this page, we'll list some of the popular diving sites in the local area, along with some useful information such as which tidal resources are best used and the location of the site.
There are a number of diving books available to help find a local dive site. Whilst some were written a few years back, the core information is still valid. For the older ones, you should double-check their location as some aren't too accurate. the wrecksite.eu website mentioned below does provide more current information. The books include:
- Dive Dorset (by John & Vicki Hinchcliffe)
- Dorset Dives (by Will Appleyard)
- South Coast Shipwrecks (by David Wendes)
- Dive Wight and Hampshire (by Martin Prichard & Kendall McDonald)
- Dive Sussex (by Kendall McDonald)
Once you know the site/s that you wish to dive, wrecksite.eu can provide the GPS coordinates.
Do take a look at the list of diving projects which SSAC members have undertaken. Whilst a good number are based off Normandy, many of them are on local dive sites and they can make excellent dives.
