Fleur d Lys
The Fleur de Lys was built in Brittany in 1969. She was 16.4 metres long, constructed from oak, and weighed about 45 tons. She was brought over to British waters from France when she was purchased by Nick Brust in 1989. On Sunday 16th April 2000, four people were on board the Fleur de Lys on their way back to Brixham from a fishing trip around Alderney.

Valentine Tanks
Swanage
Diver qualification need for this dive. Open Water diver or equivalent.
The Valentine tanks sank whilst in operation in Studland Bay, in April 1944. They were top secret and were supposed to used as part of the D Day landings. With a canvas frame, the idea was that it would displace enough water to keep the tanks afloat, which as you can guess, FAILED!
