While the mention

While the mention of scuba diving generally brings to mind the image of some exotic tropical dive locale, the United Kingdom has a number of exciting dive spots just waiting to be explored by divers like you.  If you have no issues with cold water diving, the following destinations will leave you breathless.  Or something like that…

One of the best dive sites in the U.K. is located in Scotland, in the Sound of Mull.  The Sound of Mull is located between the Isle of Mull and the Morven Peninsula.  It is an extremely popular destination for U.K. divers because it offers an unparalleled jual jimmy hantu murah untuk ikan dan buah range of diving in very reasonable conditions.  The area is cursed with bad weather, which has resulted in countless shipwrecks over the years.  Most dives in the area are launched from Tobermory, Lochaline, or Oban.  The Hispania is, by far, one of the most popular wrecks in the area, due to the fact that it is still relatively intact and awash in marine life.  It is shallow enough to get a good long dive, and visibility is generally very good.

Another phenomenal dive spot is located on the south coast of England, in the waters of Sussex.  The Alaunia, a steamship sunk by a German jual obat asam urat surabaya mine in 1916, is one of the more popular diving destinations on the south coast.  Although the wreck is considerably broken up, there are still significant parts of the ship left intact.  Be on the lookout for a series of portholes to help navigate the site.  If you can manage to find the bridge area, you will undoubtedly be pleased to find the anchor still hanging from its chain.  The size of the wreck is overwhelming to some degree, and it would take a few separate dives to explore the entire ship.  Shoals of bib, spider crabs, and massive lobsters are sure to keep you entertained.  See if you can spot a dead man's fingers while you are down there.


Another extremely popular dive is located near Plymouth, where the wreck of the steamship Maine found its final resting place.  It can be found approximately a mile off Bolt Head.  It was highly noticeable for a number of years, as the masts of the ship broke the surface of the water.  The wreck has since been cleared of its mast, with most of the debris swept to its port side.  It rests in water that is approximately 30 meters deep.  The ship was torpedoed in March of 1917 and, after a noble rescue effort, came to rest in waters within easy reach from Salcombe.  While this would be an amazing exploration for any diver, it is not recommended for novice divers due to the strong current.  There is a good representation of undersea life, and this destination is sure please anyone who visits.
