The Alaunia is a wreck site located off Selsey, United Kingdom. Divers encounter an overhead environment that requires strict buoyancy control to prevent silt disturbance, which can reduce visibility to one metre. The site reaches a depth of thirty-two metres, necessitating careful monitoring of depth gauges. Entanglement risks are present, and divers should carry line cutters. Water temperatures fluctuate between 9 and 18 degrees Celsius, requiring appropriate exposure protection. As this is an open-water marine environment, divers may encounter various temperate reef fish and invertebrates typical of the South Coast of England. Divers should arrive self-sufficient as facilities are not confirmed at this location.
