About This Dive Spot
Silver Steps is a shore dive characterized by a rocky reef system interspersed with sandy areas. The site reaches depths of up to 11 meters, making it ideal for exploration during high tide. Divers can encounter the remnants of five German WW1 U-Boats, notably UB86 and UB112, which have been heavily salvaged. In the summer months, the area is covered with kelp, providing habitat for various marine species such as wrasse, pollock, and pipefish. Additionally, crabs and lobsters can be found hiding in the rocky crevices, while giant barrel jellyfish may also be observed in the waters.
