Best for intermediate divers, shore entry.
Bembridge Lifeboat Slip is a shore-entry snorkel site located in Selsey, United Kingdom. The site is characterised by an old outfall pipe and pier structures that have become encrusted with marine growth. Snorkellers can explore these artificial features alongside nearby eelgrass beds, which serve as a nursery area. Water temperatures at this location vary between 9C and 19C throughout the year. Due to the nature of the environment and the required navigation around structures, this site is best suited for intermediate-level snorkellers. It offers a unique opportunity to observe the development of marine life on submerged man-made infrastructure.
