Diving in Jersey

Jersey and its surrounding waters offer a variety of scuba diving experiences, from easily accessible shore dives, to wrecks, drift dives, and even temperate reef diving. The diving is suitable for all experience levels, ranging from sheltered bays to challenging deeper wreck dives.

The average water temperature is 15 – 20°C during the summer months (April to October), and 6-15°C during the winter months (November- March). Visibility varies from 0 – 20 meters but will average around 10 meters.

There’s a huge variety of marine life and plenty of wrecks with history around the Channel Islands, many of which date from World Wars. We arrange shore, reef, wreck, and drift dives throughout the year on board “Grace”, the centre’s RIB. Check out our calendar page for details of scheduled trips.

We often dive right outside the centre here in Bouley Bay, suited perfectly for beginner and advanced divers alike but shore dive at other sites around Jersey also

There’s a huge variety of marine life and plenty of wrecks with history around the Channel Islands, many of which date from World Wars. We are able to access a vast number of wreck dives from our own dive boat “Grace” moored at Bouley Bay. Depths vary from 16m-40m+ depending on the size of the tide.

The large tidal ranges in and around Jersey produce opportunities for incredible drift dives. Typically on drift dives you will have the chance to see a variety of colourful sponges, star fish, rays, dogfish, pollack, sea hares and wrasse. With a licence you can also join our popular scallop dives and catch your own dinner. Dive sites are accessed by boat and depths vary from 10-30 meters depending on site and tide state
