The first divers discovered that the hangar door was open with the plane still inside. The hangar had apparently been opened while she was still underwater. A salvage operation retrieved the plane, but after 11 months and a total of 1500 dives involving 26 Royal Navy divers, the Admiralty had to admit defeat over the submarine. Slack water is between 3 and 4 hours after high water Portland. From there it depends which boat you are meeting.
Dive centres are in the old dockyard area.
Slips are available at Weymouth, Portland, West Bay and Lyme Regis. Harbour and launch fees are payable. Campsites are usually smart and a bit expensive. Technical diving is not required, but it is an ideal depth for extending bottom time with a nitrox mix. Admiralty Chart 3315, Berry Head to Bill of Portland.
