Does anyone know where I can get hold of a book of coordinates for marks and wrecks off the Sussex coast?

Thanks.

Dive Sussex is a good book but some of the numbers are way out.Try plotting them straight of a chart for better accuraccy.

Dive sussex gives coordinates in degrees, minutes and seconds - you need to convert to decimal for more accuracy.

I've always like boat fishing, but I get sea sick! But my last two trips I have been fine, and one of those cut up a bit rough by the end of the day!

And yes, the trip out in the week did whet my appetite!

Does that apply to Dive Hampshire also?

My copy says neither, which was why I was wondering. Maybe there is a newer edition than the one I have.

shipwreck index of the british isles volume 1. Not cheap, but as concise as you'll find in one book

the pandora site is great if you live in the south east.... but like so many things it thinks the UK ends at the wash!
