This listing is for a 5 days diving trip for a group of 10 in Normandy, starting in Brighton.
Our Expeditions to Normandy have proved very popular with groups looking for something different and unique! Two World Wars and the D-Day landings have left the French coast from Cherbourg to Dieppe littered with interesting and seldom dived wrecks.
There are old steamships, troopships, merchant men, landingcraft , U-boats and Destroyers, some complete, covered with fish and some still standing a massive twenty metres! The Empire Broadsword, Susan B Anthony and the LST 523 with her cargo of Sherman tanks, are among three of the finest inshore wrecks in the Seine Bay!
The Seine Bay is well protected from South and West prevailing winds. Visibility is generally good, 12-15 meters is common in August, September & October, and most D Day wreck sites are in the twenty five to forty meters depth range with many of the offshore wrecks in the region dating back to World War 1.
Days can be long but enjoyable and it is often possible to do two wreck dives a day (lock times & tide tides permitting).

We operate 2-5 day diving holidays to Dieppe & Fe’Camp (see our other listings). These trips leave from Brighton Marina on a Monday morning & return Friday afternoon’s, we dive mid-channel en route to France and on the way back to Brighton.
When you arrive in Normandy, you check into one of the hotels close to the harbour. Whilst in France we try and do 2 wreck dives a day, if tides and times permit. The diving depths range from the mid 20’s to 55mtrs for the mid-channel wrecks, but most of the Normandy wrecks are in the 25-40mtr range.
We can suggest accommodation, in either hotels or gites recommended by previous guests but you book your own accommodation and payment of deposits are the club/groups responsibility.

If the weather blows on your first day and it is deemed to rough to cross the channel then the trip will be delayed until the weather improves.
