About Bracklesham Bay
Bracklesham Bay in West Sussex is a gentle, accessible dive site most notable for its fossil-hunting opportunities — Eocene-era shark teeth, ray plates and marine reptile fragments are regularly found on the sandy seabed between the kelp patches at 4–12m. The tractor-launched boat operation makes it accessible regardless of beach conditions; the shallow depth and minimal current make it well-suited to newly qualified divers and those building cold-water experience before tackling deeper Channel sites.
