Yep, that's right. There's a really convenient shop on the pier for diving goodies and fills and stuff. It's all good!

I'm hoping to get down there sometime this year. So lovely down there, especially when the sun's shining!

You've either been drinking and diving, taken a big spade or your depth guage is seriously fcuked In the bay 20mtr on a good day outside the bay well all the way to the bottom has been known
Divers Down on the pier do the usual shop stuff and fills and run trips.

I did a 'deep drift' off Mary Jo.. Admittedly probably out of the bay but not far out (from memory)... But got 37m and apparently there's a hole that drops down a bit deeper...

Was a lovely dive!

I thought the only really deep bit was of the back end of St Alban's Head? (Digs out chart...) yeah, there's one spot marked as 55... That it?! Certainly not in the Bay though... you'd be lucky to get 20m anywhere in what you might regard as Swanage Bay!

Dived the Kyarra (30m) & Firth Fisher (37m) with Toby (TVR).

Kyarra wasn't great Firth Fisher was a really good dive. Except for the large hole in my drysuit boot which made deco a little bit chilly.

We dived with Swanage Charters skippered by Brian and Martin who both worked really hard looking after us. Def recommend them Swanage Boat Charters - Welcome!
