    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    The Sea Prince, or at least a good chunk of her, sits at a very manageable 9 metres, making her a solid choice for newer wreck divers or anyone looking for a relaxed bimble. Sunk back in '57 after tangling with the MV 'Cato', this old tug is now a proper home for crabs and lobsters, often tucked into the nooks and crannies. You’ll find her relatively broken up, but there's enough structure left to get a real feel for her past life, with a good chance of spotting conger eels lurking in the darker spaces. It’s a gentle introduction to wreck diving in the UK, without the usual depth or current challenges.
