It's not just for novices, though as there is a great deal to interest the experienced diver as well.
It's a Pier - It's a big wood and iron structure - you can't miss it!
#3 - Seatown
UK, England, South West
Boring bimble over sand. Lots of crabs and some flat fish. Not legendary but OK for a training dive.
Dorset county. Shore dive, some large pebbles to carry gear over to cross the beach and reach the sea. Car Park right at the edge of the beach.
#4 - Burton Bradstock
UK, England, South West
Boring sandy bottom, some reef further out. Current rund parallel to the shore. Not much to see except flat fish and spider crabs. Pretty boring but OK for training purposes.
Dorset county. Shore dive, easy walk down beach, more tricky on the upward slope on exit. Watch the wave heights and do not enter if above 3 ft as you will struggle to exit.
