About Brighton Marina
Brighton Marina is a sheltered club training basin on the Brighton waterfront, built for buoyancy practice, easy check dives, and relaxed repeat sessions rather than big-exposure profiles. The shallow water still holds plenty of life, with wrasse, bass, pipefish, nudibranchs and other marina species showing up across the seasons, while night dives can change the mix again.
