    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    The wreck of the cutter *Ant* lies in St Aubin's Bay, a surprisingly accessible site in the UK. We’re talking shallow, just five meters, so it’s a good spot for a longer dive without rushing decompression. You won't find huge structural integrity here, it's more a scatter of timbers and hull sections, but it's enough to give you a sense of its past. Look closely among the wreckage and you'll often see small blennies peeking out, velvet swimming crabs scuttling past, and plenty of sea slugs grazing on the growth. It’s a pleasant, easy dive, perfect for a relaxed afternoon when you're keen to explore a bit of history without fighting currents or depth.
