Freshwater bay dive site

Freshwater Bay on the Isle of Wight is an excellent site for training, depth goes down to approx 5m and in the early stages of training the safety factor here is excellent. Plenty of fauna to see, as well as sea life and on occasions you may even see the Guillemots diving under the surface if you're lucky (I have). All in all a great little site to dive, being possible to dive in most stages of the tide. You may also see lobsters at this site, watch out for the one armed lobster though as I think he may be getting a bit fed up with divers now!!!

Sandown Pier

Excellent site, superb visibility on a decent day. Loads of fish, even lobsters and a baby conger eel living at the end of this pier. Suitable for Open water divers and experienced ones.

Sandown pier dive site

Totland pier dive site is always a good dive for any level of diving. Depth is a manageble 6m at most and always with plenty to see. Possibly some wreck pieces as this is where steam ships used to pull alongside the pier and on occasions do their repairs. Often when the repairs were finished the engineers used to throw the engine parts under the pier. I found part of a steam engine lister pump once, often the sea bed changes and some other parts are disturbed for the avid explorer to discover. Always you will see the odd spider crab and plenty of fauna if you don't find any old interesting pieces.

The dive sites above are great training sites for the avid student diver to learn the basics, also a good bimble dive for anyone wishing to have a relaxing afternoons diving. Or you could charter "Rumbo" an MCA coded rib, coded to carry 10 divers and 2 crew, This rib can handle most sea conditions and built to military standards. rest assured a dive on Rumbo is a dive to remember. Suitable to carry out Advanced open water training and for the more experienced diver. There are plenty of wrecks and reef walls around the Island and diving the back of the Wight as it's known is a great experience and one for the log book!!
