Wreck
Boat access, slack water, and modest visibility make T'pot a tidy wreck dive with a simple profile and plenty of small life.
About T'pot
T'pot is a compact wreck dive off Selsey, split into an inverted stern, boilers, and a midships/bow section. It rewards careful slack-water timing and a tidy boat plan, with the broken structure making the route easy to read and the boiler area giving a clear focal point for a slow tour. Expect conger eels, crabs, and other small wreck life rather than a coral reef feel.
