MOOR SAND

Forget your usual idea of a wreck dive. Moor Sand isn't about giant ships and towering superstructures. What you’ll find here, scattered across the seabed in a shallow, sandy gouge, is truly ancient: a Bronze Age boat, or what’s left of it, with an incredible collection of weapons. We're talking swords, spearheads, daggers – a whole arsenal from a time before written history, lost for millennia until its discovery in the late 70s. It’s a different kind of dive, more archaeological than architectural, and definitely one for those who appreciate history as much as marine life. You’ll spend your time peering closely at the sand, imagining the lives of those who sailed this coast over 3,000 years ago. The site is shallow, just 4 meters, making for long bottom times and easy access, but do watch the tides. Even in such clear, calm conditions, the shifting sand can reveal or conceal parts of the assemblage. We love how the story of the site makes you feel connected to the past – it’s a tangible link to something profound. There's not much in the way of big fish, but the sand is home to crabs, flatfish, and often small baitfish hovering above the remnants, adding a touch of natural beauty to the historical wonder.
