Nab Tower

A Mark 3 type IX Valentine Duplex Drive tank lost during exercise Fabius III in Bracklesham Bay in May 1944. Sits upright in 12m on the edge of a sandbar.

Bracklesham Bay contains clay sediments deposited 46 million years ago during the Eocene epoch. These clay beds are now being eroded resulting in significant quantities of fossilised shark and ray teeth being exposed. This simple Drift Dive will give you a chance to find some Fossils.

The Bracklesham Bay Landing Craft is US Navy LCT548 (Landing Craft Tank) which lies in 10m of water in Bracklesham Bay, upside down! This is an ideal Wreck site for new and inexperienced wreck divers.

known as the T’Pot wreck in honour of a teapot found on it, aka Brigitta, this armed merchant vessel was mined on 4th December 1917 whilst in transit from Barry to Dieppe. Today lies in 20m, in three parts: upside down stern, boilers and midships/bow.

U-1195 was a German submarine Type VIIC. She was sunk on the 7th April 1945 in the English Channel by depth charges from the British destroyer HMS Watchman. Sits upright in 30m with the Conning Tower separated at the pressure hull and leaning sideways. Starting to show signs of deterioration.

The Oasis Swimming Pool, part of the Bunn Leisure complex, is regular scheduled on Wednesday / Thursday evenings and early Saturday mornings for both Scuba and Freediving.

Known for the vertical drop over the northern lip edge in particular, the Mixon Hole sits within the Selsey Bill & the Hounds MCZ. Maximum depth is 27m with the top ledge at 6m meaning that this is a true multi-level dive - use EANx32 to help you enjoy this the most.

Excellent shore dive that can provide a variety of experiences; most people dive on / near Slack water (HW-4 or HW+3, times impacted by Tide) and can also be a drift dive on either flood or ebb tides; suitable for night diving - use Surface Marker Buoy at all times due to Lifeboat / Fishing boat traffic.

Shallow site suited to Snorkelling and Freediving as well as Scuba; max depth likely to be about 5m at HW when Ebb current will be quite strong. Good point for starting Drift dive along beach to the Lifeboat Station. Be aware of boat traffic around the wooden Ramp - always use a Surface Marker Buoy.

The Selsey Drift takes place within an area that appears on Charts as ’The Parks’, said to be the Bishop Of Chichester’s Deer Park many years ago. Tidal flow dictates the start point with an average depth of 10-12m and minimal obstructions these dives are suitable for all. Surface Marker Buoys required throughout.
