Norfolk Coast Diving

We have our own dive boat for trips around the UK and off the Norfolk coast. 
Norfolk Coast boat dives all launch from Sea Palling unless otherwise stated.  Head down Beach Road and meet in the car park near the Beach Rock jet ski centre at the stated meet time to kit up.  The boat will leave approx. 1 hour after and divers will be in the water at the dive time (slack water).
There is the option to do a drift dive on the Mussel beds off Sea Palling as a second dive if you like.
Cost is £40 for 1 dive, £50 if doing the drift aswell.

North Norfolk Shore Dives
We also organise regular shore dives on the wrecks of the Rosalie (Weybourne) and Vera (Cley) as well as the Sheringham gullies.   The organised shore dives are finished for 2011, but we will be arranging more for 2012.  Not all of these are unaccompanied, but we can put you in touch with others wanting to do them, or email christal.seas.scuba@hotmail.com to join the Buddy List so you can contact people direct.  All dives weather dependent - please check the weather or call the day before to check that they are going ahead.  These are all done at slack water, the centre of which is 2 hours after low or high tide at Cromer.  Slack water lasts for about 1 hour so you can therefore enter the water approx. one and a half hours after high or low tide.  The gullies can be done at low or high tide but the wrecks are most easily done at low tide slack when the tips of the wrecks stick out of the water.  There is some great information on the two wrecks, and how best to dive them,  on the local Seasearch co-ordinators website, see http://www.1townhouses.co.uk/pelagicpixels/tripreports/veraandrosalie.htm
 
Look at that website for details, but basic directions are as follows:
Weybourne (The Rosalie):  Park in Weybourne beach car park and walk west (left) along the beach for about 600 metres until you are level with the wreckage that sticks out of the water.  Surface swim out to it then drop down.
Cley (The Vera):  Park in Cley beach car park (almost opposite the Cley Marshes bird reserve centre) and walk east (right) along the beach for 400 metres until you are level with the wreckage that sticks out of the water.  Swim out to it and drop down.
Sheringham gullies:  Park on the Esplanade and head straight down to the beach.  Surface swim out for a while then drop down and swim out north, then turn around and swim back in.
