Rye Pier
About Rye Pier
An L-shaped pier about 500 m long, originally built in 1860 for the lime trade. The structure provides a dive site with a long walk out to the lower landing, which sits about 50 m from the end of the pier. It is oriented north-northeast and is not suitable to dive in strong northerly winds. Night dives are described as better, with more marine life active then.
