MAD MOMENT

The Mad Moment isn’t about huge pelagics or vibrant corals, let’s be clear. This is a classic UK wreck dive, one we really enjoy for its character and accessibility. She’s a small yacht, just under 8 meters, which means you can really get to grips with the whole site on a single dive. Dropping down, you’ll find her upright on the seabed at 60m, often with decent visibility for the area, maybe 10-15 meters on a good day. We love how the deckhouse has collapsed, creating little swim-throughs and overhangs for lobsters and conger eels. Look closely and you’ll spot jewel anemones coating the railings, adding splashes of colour to the rust. We’d suggest a slow, methodical circuit, peering into every crevice. The site is best on a slack tide, which makes it less of a workout and more about discovery. While the depth means it’s one for experienced technical divers, it’s a brilliant introduction to deeper wreck diving without the complexity of a larger vessel. It’s not a thrill-a-minute dive, but it’s a satisfying exploration of a small piece of maritime history, now a vibrant home for local marine life.
