    Dive 125 usually go up to Lowestoft for a week a year, or have in the past.

    Introduction

    Thanks everyone for the welcome, the diving off Lowestoft is seasonal, best done on the slack, shot the wreck, clip the down line, and more often than not fudge around a wreck not often dived. But when the viz is in I could not think of a more glorious place to be especially at night. You are dependent on establishing a relationship with local trawlerman/lobsterman who are very experienced with a vast local knowledge. There are no real commercialdive boat operations due to the short season and weather conditions.

    Hi Steven, there are a number of launch sites.I have never dived this area from a RIB only from hardboats. There are local dive clubs and dive stores although I have never dived with them, who are all friendly enougth and would be able to give better advice than me especially regarding that "political" hot potatoe launching.
