About This Dive Spot
Selsey East Beach is a shallow dive site with a maximum depth of approximately 5 meters at high water. The site is suitable for snorkeling, freediving, and scuba diving. During ebb tide, currents can be strong, making it a good location to start a drift dive along the beach towards the Lifeboat Station. Divers should be cautious of boat traffic near the wooden ramp and are advised to use a surface marker buoy. In the summer months, bootlace weed provides habitat for small fish and fry. Divers may encounter rays and cat-sharks resting on the seabed, and seahorses have been spotted occasionally.
