Dive Site: Breakwater Fort

Location: Plymouth Sound

Description: Wall and wreck

Depth: 12 metres (40 feet)

Visibility: 0 - 8 metres (0 - 26 feet)

Rating: **

The Fort is a circular building with vertical walls that go down to the seabed, north of the breakwater. It has been used for many years as a training area for commercial divers and hence there are a lot of structures underwater that have been using for underwater cutting, welding and lifting. These include a fishing boat, a decompression chamber and a massive tubular framework. Lots of dogfish and scallops around here not to mention the usual life that can be seen in Plymouth Sound. It's also a good dive to watch people get lost, which is surprising given that the wall is circular!
