Branksome Pipes

★★★☆☆ (21)

Branksome Chine features a gentle shore dive centered around two disused outfall pipes sitting on a stone bed, reaching a maximum depth of 8 meters. Located 200 meters off a sandy beach, the structures guide divers to a small, shallow rocky reef running parallel to shore.

Ideal for novice diving, training and photography, this oasis hosts cuttlefish, spider crabs, lobsters, and shrimp colonies tucked inside the pipe crannies and nearby reef.
