To dive or not to dive - that's not even an option.

Here are a couple I have looked at, the top two are different sites but the same boat and I'm using him next month.

Tried to do Sidon recently, another Sub, fog stopped us though. Sch knows the area quite well, he might be along soon and could add some local knowledge. We dived off Stormforce Rib.

guys before have given some useful info boatwise etc - I've used most boats down there, and they're all pretty good. I can recommend Julian's RIB Stormforce - you can get him on 07799766435 - he's based in Portland.

There's also Divetime, a hard boat from Weymouth - have a look at http://www.divetime.info/ for contact info. Paul's an excellent skipper who knows his stuff and his home-made soup is cracking.

As for wrecks, take your pick - its a bit difficult to recommend particular ones without knowing the group's level, but if you're happy with 20-35m then the M2, Sidon, Aeolian Skye are my favourites but there's load of others out there. Best thing is to get hold of Dive Dorset and have a look through there, or give one of the skippers a call and have a chat about what you're looking for.

Cheers,
Simon

Have been on Tango, Woodys boat and Dive Time all are fantastic with plenty of deck space and decent skippers.

www.tangoofweymouth.co.uk

As for dive sites it all depends on what depth you want. The M2, Sidon and P555 are decent although I'm not one for subs.

Aelion Skye in about 30m
My favourite has to be the Salsette and black hawk stern both with depths down to 50m. Talk to the skippers they will advise you, also have a read of dive dorset theres plenty of info in there

HTH
