Diving off East Wittering

 

Diving off the coast of Wittering is very good actually. The marine life is surprisingly abundant and the wrecks are GOOD. I personally am not really into wreck diving and prefer looking at marine life, but can easily appreciate that the wrecks there are good. I remember penetrating the Landing Craft at one point and thinking for a second that I was in trouble, but I got out backwards. Please don't sigh of my doings!

Basically, there is no point me writing a lot on this because West Sussex diving is mainly self-discovery! To help you out a bit you can buy 2 books (really excellent) that are called 'Dive Sussex' and 'Sussex Marine Life' and both can be purchased from Amazon.co.uk. If you want to get hold of the dive centre that I dived with, go to: www.witteringdivers.com and the website can give you a hand.


I don't expect you to hold your mouth open as you look at these pictures because they certainly aren't my best, but can indicate what sort of things you see! Bare in mind visibility wasn't great with most of the pictures. If you need more info; which I can always give you (directions if needed) be sure to Sign the Guest Book or e-mail me at jamesyonge@hotmail.com


Enjoy the pics!
