About This Dive Spot

Selsey Lifeboat Station offers an excellent shore diving experience, particularly around slack water, which occurs approximately four hours before and three hours after high water. Divers can also opt for drift diving during either flood or ebb tides. This site is suitable for night diving; however, it is essential to use a Surface Marker Buoy due to the presence of lifeboat and fishing boat traffic. Marine life commonly encountered includes gobies, shannies, and dragonets, with cuttlefish appearing from May through late summer. Divers may also observe various crabs, including sponge, spider, and edible crabs, as well as lobsters, nudibranchs, cat-sharks, rays, and even seahorses.
