Best for advanced divers, 40-60m, boat entry, strong current.
The Candia is a deep wreck located off the coast of Selsey, United Kingdom, resting at depths between 40 and 60 metres. This site is strictly for advanced technical divers, as it involves decompression requirements and potential overhead environments within the structure. Strong currents are a constant factor, necessitating precise slack-water timing and careful dive planning. Water temperatures fluctuate between 9C and 18C throughout the year, making a drysuit the standard choice. Access is exclusively by boat, and divers should be prepared for significant surge. Given the depth and environmental conditions, redundant equipment and surface marker buoys are essential for all dives at this location.
