We’ve booked a trip on Skin Deep from Portland Marina to dive the wreck of the Salsette, one of the best technical wreck dives in the area.
The wreck rests on her port side at 45 degrees on a flat, sandy seabed. Although much of the upper-deck superstructure has collapsed, the hull is still largely intact for the full length of the vessel. The maximum depth is 45m and the highest point of the wreck is the starboard railings at 32m
Diving from Portland Marina is always a pleasure, with a large car park (discounted parking charges for Skindeeper divers!) and trollies to get the gear down to the boat. Air fills can be done on the boat, or any other gas fills can be purchased from the dive shop on site, so it’s a really nice location to base ourselves for this trip.
