Boat-access scheduled-monument wreck off Selsey.
Boat-access scheduled-monument wreck off Selsey.
Far Mulberry is the outer Phoenix A1 unit of the Mulberry Harbour, now a scheduled monument off the Selsey/Pagham coast. This boat-access wreck trail links the caisson with a nearby landing craft and Cuckoo rescue craft, so the dive is about tidal timing, wartime history, and the marine life that has colonized the structure.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Slack-water timing, strong tidal flow, and lines and structure around the wreck trail make buoyancy and situational awareness important.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only; plan the dive around slack water with a local skipper or operator.
Legal Notes
Designated as a Scheduled Monument in 2019.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Shallow dive to about 10 m, described as suitable from beginner to experienced.
Freediving
Only for very experienced freedivers under operator guidance; the tidal boat-dive setup makes scuba the normal choice.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkeling-first site; the wreck is best experienced underwater during the boat dive rather than from the surface.
