    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Selsey East Beach in Cornwall is a fine spot for shaking off the rust or getting new divers comfortable. At just 8m deep, it’s a calm, easy dive, usually with minimal current. We often spot cuttlefish, spider crabs, and plenty of blennies tucked into the rocky nooks. It's not a site for big pelagics, but if you enjoy taking your time exploring the shallows, looking closely at the macro life, then Selsey East will certainly deliver. Visibility here can vary a lot, so check local reports before you head out.
