10 - 20m. Variable sea bed.

Tidal conditions

Dive at any state of the tide. Tide runs similairly to Knap Shoal. Best viz. at HW. Ebb tides have dramatically lower viz due to outflow from the Sound.

This area, along with the region west to Knap Shoal was used as a Dockyard dumping ground and there is still a lot of lead and brass remaining on the seabed.
