DIVE JERSEY, BELMONT RD, ST HELIER.

Jersey has one of the largest tidal movements in the world. 12m on a spring tide, which brings a variety of marine life to the Island and gives us some of the most exhilarating drift diving available anywhere on the planet. Dolphins are a common sight on the way to dive sites and giant sunfish can be seen in the summer months. Tope, starry smoothounds and electric,thornback and undulated rays are amongst the regulars on drifts, along with cuttlefish, crabs and lobsters..

The Islands are surrounded by wrecks and reefs which are home to both hard and soft corals and covered in jewel, daisy, beadlet and snakelock anenomes. With depths in the various bays reaching only 12m and most wrecks in the 18-34m range, Jersey is ideal for both beginners and the more experienced diver.
