Part 3 and the final video of our Plymouth diving trip.

After diving HMS Scylla and the James Eagan Layne, we finish the trip with two very different dives — the SS Persier and Hilsea Point Rock.
First, we explore the remains of the SS Persier, a Belgian cargo ship that was torpedoed in February 1945 while carrying food and supplies for the people of liberated Belgium. Today, her remains lie in around 27–28 metres of water and have become home to an incredible amount of marine life.

For our final dive, we swap wreck diving for the spectacular underwater landscape of Hilsea Point Rock. The site is made up of rocky pinnacles, deep gullies and a swim-through, with the reef dropping down towards 25 metres.

And there was certainly no shortage of wildlife — we found rock lobsters everywhere!

Three videos. Four dive sites. And a brilliant few days diving around Plymouth.
