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.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Shallow dive to about 10 m, described as suitable from beginner to experienced.
