About Harbour Wreck
Harbour Wreck is a shallow Newhaven wreck dive just outside the harbour, built around an old ammunition barge that sits upright with a compact profile and plenty of fish life. It is a good option for relaxed wreck diving, training runs, and divers who want a simple site with a clear subject to explore. Plan it as a boat dive and keep the focus on the wreck rather than depth.
