QUEENSWOOD (PART OF)(POSSIBLY)

The *Queenswood* isn’t one of those wrecks you just stumble upon; she demands a bit of planning, sitting out in the open, exposed to the Channel’s moods. But when conditions align – and we're talking a calm day, maybe even a slack tide for the best experience – she delivers a dive that really gets under your skin. We love descending onto her, seeing the boilers loom first, often draped in dead men’s fingers, which glow in your torch beam. Her structure, while broken, still has plenty to explore. You can poke around the collapsed bows, seeing where the metal has twisted and buckled over the century. Shoals of bib often hang around the more sheltered sections, darting into the gloom as you approach. Our favourite part has to be tracing the length of the hull, picturing her as she was, even with the damage. It’s a proper wreck dive for those who appreciate history and don't mind a bit of a current sometimes.
