Dive Wight & Hampshire by Martin Pritchard and Kendall McDonald
The waters surrounding the Isle of Wight and adjacent coast of Hampshire are well known as a fascinating area for diving, and offer a very wide range of contrasting sites. For the sport diver, many of the advantages of the locality are geographical. A number of sheltered dive sites can be found even in weather conditions that might prevent diving at more exposed locations.
???? Because of the heavy concentration of shipping using the major ports of Portsmouth and Southampton over the centuries, there are hundreds of wreck dives from which to choose, as well as a varied choice of other underwater attractions and natural features.
???? Sheltered bays, Victorian piers, and rock ledges are in most cases easily accessible from the shore, and can produce some fascinating dives. Detailed positions and descriptions of these are given in the revised edition of Dive Wight and Hampshire by Martin Pritchard and Kendall McDonald, and the variety of locations cater for both the novice and experienced diver alike.
???? The book comprehensively covers a wide variety of shipwrecks and dive sites, and is an asset to both visiting and local sport divers.
???? Much new material has been added, and this latest publication is the result of a what has obviously been a considerable amount of hard work and research by the authors. It makes an interesting and enlightening read.
