If you’re up for dipping your toes in cooler waters, then you’ll certainly reap the rewards here. Divers are truly spoilt for choice with hundreds of wrecks, natural reefs, caves and pinnacles to choose from. There is no shortage of diving in England, the country is large and the dives are diverse.
Walls descending 50m, thrilling caves waiting to be explored and thousands of wrecks provide a unique glimpse of the countries history. Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins, basking sharks, catfish and lobsters.
Divers will not want to miss the seal encounters at Lundy Island off the North Devon coast. Grey seals keep divers entertained with their playful and inquisitive nature. Pups are born between September-November, so later in the year can be a great time to visit.
You can dive all year with average water temperatures ranging from 43°-50°F/6 -10 °C in the winter and 59°-68°F/15°-20°C in the summer.
The warmest months are September-October but we highly recommend a drysuit, thermals, hood and gloves in winter.
