EZRA WESTON (BOW SECTION)

The *Ezra Weston* bow section sits upright and proud at 51 metres, a solid chunk of history in the often-murky English Channel. We really appreciate how intact it is; none of that collapsed mess you sometimes find. Dropping down, the first thing that hits you, even before the light starts to fade, is the sheer scale of the plating, almost like a dark wall rising from the seabed. It's a proper technical dive, no two ways about it, but if you’re comfortable at depth, it’s a rewarding one. You can follow the deck plating back towards where the main hold would have been, often finding conger eels peering from dark recesses. We’ve seen ling tucked into corners here, and the anemones, particularly the plumose, really brighten things up with their white, feathery heads clinging to the steel. Our favourite spot is usually around the very tip of the bow, where the anchor chains would have run, feeling the subtle surge, knowing you’re on the edge of something massive. It’s a good one for those who love exploring big, identifiable structures rather than just debris fields.
