Make sure you have a good torch. Yesterday off Littlehampton it was pitch black below 15m, and we had something like 1-2m vis. Temp was 8c. Be prepared for a challenging experience.

1-2m - you obviously follow the Andy Nye school of viz measurement!! - 0.5-1m I'd have given it yesterday. I couldn't even see the red glow from my DSMB until I was at 1m on the ascent!!!

A torch is a MUST in conditions like this, and ideally a backup torch too, as failure of your main could be a bit of a shocker if you're not used to or prepared for it.

However, south coast diving is great, all year round - I love it!! Os much in fact that I'm also out next weekend, but hopefully finding better viz all the way out on the Moldavia.
