Itinerary (please note dive sites may be subject to change depending on weather):

  • Saturday – Ropes Off at 09:15:
    • Wreck dive – M2 – max 32m to sea bed: One of the most popular boat dives from Portland this submarine is an official War Grave. She was built in 1918 as a K-boat and in 1927 she was converted to carry a light sea plane in a hangar in front of the conning tower. It is generally accepted that she sunk after diving with the hangar doors open (as they are today). The M2 is not far west round the Bill, is about 300’ and all hands were lost on her when she sunk in January 1932.
    • Wreck dive – James Fennel – max 17m: The James Fennel was a steam trawler built in 1918 as a Strath class auxilliary patrol vessel.  She drove straight into the rocks on the 16th of January 1920 in thick fog. All crew were rescued by fishermen and attempt was made to tow her off the rocks a few days later, but she sunk immediately.
  • Sunday – Ropes Off at 10:15:
    • Wreck dive – Frogner – max 36m:  The Frogner is a WWI wreck with huge lobsters and lots of crabs!
    • Drift dive – Lulworth Banks – max depth 24m: Lulworth Banks is a lovely scenic drift dive with optional scalloping
  • Monday (tech divers only – please see details below for weekend options) – Ropes Off at 10:30:
    • Wreck dive – Salsette – max 48m:  The Salsette is a P&O liner lying on it’s port side
    • Optional second dive – tbc on the day
