Another German WWII submarine located off the coast of Portsmouth, UK. Sitting in approx. 30 metres of water this is a fantastic dive. However, in 2007 a number of human bones were uncovered on the wreck and reports were made of divers disturbing the remains and taking artifacts - so the wreck was designated a NO DIVE SITE and is now off limits to the general diving population. The nice girls and guys from Southsea BSAC (my first dive club) did manage to capture this submarine on one of th... Read Full Story

One piece of naval history that remained undiscovered until 1995 is the Holland V submarine. Lying, upright in 30 metres (100ft) of water, the Holland V was the Navy’s first submarine accepted fo...

Big Anchor Project Portsmouth is steeped in maritime history. From earliest times it has been used by mariners. It’s natural harbour offering a safe sanctuary and a staging point for trade routes and military campaigns. We have recorded and know a lot about the various ships that have visited The Solent and surrounding areas but little is known about a vital piece of equipment carried by all ships - its anchor. The Big Anchor project is going to change all that.   The Nautical Archaeolo... Read Full Story

Climate change has been having dramatic effects on weather and weather systems across the world. As divers we tend to be more acutely tuned to environmental impact than a lot of people.  We see the effects first hand with increased plankton blooms affecting visibility and increased bouts of bad weather due to changes in the path of the jet stream across the Atlantic.
