Uk south coast shore-entry dive sites

[Chris Richardson]

G'day all

Does anyone have any recommendations on a decent or fairly decent shore-entry dive spot on the UK south coast somewhere between Lymington/Milford-on-sea in the east to Bournemouth in the west? I 'm wanting to test the sealing and weight requirement for a drysuit when diving in the sea. I'm thinking a shore-entry site would be the easiest just in case more weight is needed, adjustments to be made, etc, which can be done more easily @ the shore than trying to do it on a boat imho. I've dived Swanage and so am looking for somewhere else and hoping to not go as far as Kimmeridge/Lulworth/Chesil.

Many thanks guys

Why are you not testing your drysuit in the lakes near Reading.

Not many salt lakes near Reading?

exactly!

exactly!

Chalk downs aplenty, salt lakes not so much. (I lived in Basingstoke for a few years in the '90s, but it was before I started diving so can't help with your original question I'm afraid.)
