The Aeolian Sky is 5 miles off St Aldhelms Head and takes us about 35/40 minutes to get there from Swanage.  Although the wreck was cleared by explosives down to 18m her holds are still stuffed with cargo.  The total depth to the seabed on this dive is 30m.

The Kyarra is without doubt Dorsets' most popular wreck.  Laying at a depth of 30m with the top at 18m and only 3/4 mile off Anvil Point.  This was a large vessel on it's way to Sydney from Southampton and laden with cargo, when it was torpedoed by a German submarine.  Much of the cargo is still being found including gold watches, perfume bottles, champagne, knives & forks and much more.

Other dives include drifting along Durlston Head - there are some good photographic opportunities to be had amongst the huge boulders and fossils to be found on the seabed, or drift along a bit further out at between 7m and 12m across the mussel beds.  Old Harry Rocks to Ballard Head is a good safe dive with plenty of marine life at depths of 10 - 13m.  With Swanage Bay and Tanville Ledges the perfect first open water dive with plenty of interest for other divers at only 7m.
