The City of Waterford is a wreck dive located 12.8 kilometres off the coast of Brighton and Eastbourne. Resting at depths between 30 and 36 metres, this site is strictly for advanced divers. The wreck presents significant entanglement risks, requiring precise buoyancy control and awareness of the overhead structure. Strong currents are common, making slack water essential for a successful dive. Visibility is highly variable and can drop to one metre, so divers must monitor their position closely. Boat access is required to reach the site, and thermal protection is necessary to manage water temperatures ranging from 9C to 18C throughout the year.

Check tide tables carefully and aim to dive at or near slack water, as the current here can make the dive unworkable outside that window. Confirm current conditions with your charter skipper before descending, as local knowledge on this site is worth more than any published tidal prediction.
