Diving Weymouth/Portland on High Water

Anyone with local Portland/Weymouth knowledge care to offer some advice on dive sites in the area suitable for diving in and around High Water? We're taking my mate's RIB down there for the bank holiday weekend and HW is mid to late morning. Previous experience would indicate that this isn't a good time for diving the usual wrecks (and getting up really early isn't an option) so are looking for other suggestions in the 25-35m range. Fortunately there are only 4 of us on the RIB so we've got the option for range if needed.

All suggestions gratefully received ........ TIA

All sites can be done on high water slack as far as I know. However, slack time is variable depending on how far you go round Portland Bill. you will need to look at tide tables or contact a local skipper for advice if you have a specific site in mind.
