Selsey Lifeboat Station

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.

You will encounter gobies, shannies and dragonets all the time; cuttlefish in May - late summer; crabs (Sponge, Spider, Edible) and lobster, nudibranchs; cat-sharks and rays....and seahorses!
