About Swanage

Swanage on the Jurassic Coast is Dorset's most accessible dive town — the pier provides an easy shore entry and the seabed holds seahorses, cuttlefish in breeding season and a remarkable range of macro life for a 8–25m depth range. The town is on the Purbeck Heritage Coast with UNESCO-listed geology above and below the waterline. Multiple charter operators run boats to the outer reefs and wrecks; the sheltered bay allows diving in conditions that close out Portland Bill and Selsey. Best on incoming tides for vis.
