Black Hawk Liberty is a two-part wreck dive in the Weymouth area, with a shallower bow section in Warbarrow Bay and a much deeper stern section farther offshore. The site works best as a careful wreck dive: the bow offers the more approachable profile, while the stern demands much more experience and depth comfort. Plan the dive around the section you want, because the easier bow and the deeper stern create very different planning choices, especially when visibility is only moderate and the tide window matters.
