Bryan and Rob dive Swanage Pier with Suunto
Bryan and Rob's Great British Shore Dives venture off and dive at Swanage Pier, sponsored by Suunto. Swanage Pier is considered to be one of the most beautiful shallow dives on the South Coast of the UK. It is teaming with marine life and has a dive shop on site with cafe and shops nearby. Ideal for novice divers and the experienced alike it has much to offer.
Swanage pier, scuba diving #2
Today the pier is open to the public once again. Small scale ferry services run daily throughout the summer season, mainly to Poole Quay.
The pier also hosts a successful diving school, the oldest in the UK,[and is visited annually by historic steamers including the Waverley paddle steamer.
The pier is a popular training site for scuba diving because it is one of the few sheltered marine diving sites on the south coast, and it has depths of only 4 meters (13 ft). The Marine Conservation Society South East also use the pier as a location for its training dives during their Marine identification and underwater photography courses, due to the wide range of marine life found under the pier. The site has easy access from adjacent car parks, and it has a nearby dive shop Divers Down.

SCUBA diving on the wreck of the SS Kyarra, Swanage
D dive on the SS Kyarra out of Swanage Harbour. We went aboard the dive boat Mary Jo. The visability was not perfect. We came down the shot amidships and explored the engine/boiler area before drifting down to the bow where we saw a large pollack (you can see it in the film) before heading back down towards the stern. The conditions were not perfect, but it was a good dive.
Depth: 25-29m
Shot with a Sony HC9 in a Gates HC housing. Lighting was from a pair of Greenforce Squid 250 HID lights.

목가적인 전원 풍경의 한적한 곳에 드넓은 유채꽃밭, 그리고 귀여운 양떼들의 모습이 여유롭다. 자연보호구역의 팻말을 지나 방문객들의 발길이 이어지고 있다. 비가 온 뒤라서 그런지 아직 하늘빛은 흐리다. 넓고 푸른 초원지대 너머로 아스라이 회색의 해안 절벽이 보인다. 절벽은 검붉은 자갈과 함께 대자연의 위용을 뽐내고 있다. ‘세븐 시스터즈’라는 이름은 일곱 자매가 마치 어깨동무를 하고 있는 것 같다 하여 붙여진 별칭이라 한다. 켜켜이 쌓여있는 석회색의 돌은 마치 분필처럼 글자를 쓸 수 있을 정도로 부드럽다. 세븐 시스터즈는 영국 해안에 있는 웅장한 백악질의 절벽이다. 바닷물은 절벽에 끊임없이 부딪히고 정기적으로 낙석이 발생한다. 그래서 절벽의 얼굴은 계속 바뀌고 그 와중에 묻혀있던 화석이 계속 드러나 전 세계에서 모여드는 화석 채집자들은 다양한 모양의 화석을 찾아 절벽 아래 자갈과 백악층을 뒤지고 다닌다. 절벽은 매해 30~ 40 센티미터씩 뒤로 물러나고 있다. 산의 정상으로 향하니 주변 전망이 탁월하다. 드넓은 평원이 아득히 눈앞에 펼쳐진다. 세계 각지에서 모여든 여행객들은 저마다 각자의 위치에서 자연을 즐기기에 여념이 없다. 잠시 회색 구름이 걷히자 구름 사이로 햇살이 내비치고 한줄기 바람이 옷깃을 스치며 지나간다. 해변에 검은색과 회색빛 자갈이 내려다보이는 절벽 끝에서 나는 잠시 엎드려 아래를 바라보았다.

Diving the SS Kyarra, Swanage
Diving the SS Kyarra in Swanage from Sidewinder, a boat owned by Martin of kyarra.com. A superb dive at about 30m, excellent visibility, and only 20 mins from the pier. My favourite UK dive site yet.
Scuba Diving The Wreck Of The Kyarra
In 1903, on the river Clyde in Scotland, the W. Denny brothers built a twin-masted passenger and cargo liner, now known as The Kyarra.
She was built for the Australian United Steam Navigation Company and thus spent a decade sailing parts of Australia.
During World War 1 she was converted into a hospital ship, transporting supplies and wounded soldiers. The Kyarra was 126m long and was fitted with a quick-firing gun at the stern to defend against submarines.
Alas, it was not enough. In May 1918, UB-57 launched a succesfull torpedo attack against The Kyarra off the coast of Swanage, England, killing 6 of the 126 crew.
The wreck was found in 1966 and lies on the seabed at 30m. Although she was carrying medical supplies, the hold was laden with cargo including champagne, perfume and dinner sets.

Isle of Purbeck, Corfe Castle, Swanage, Dorset England, ( 13 )
Swanage is a coastal town and civil parish in the south east of Dorset, England. It is situated at the eastern end of the Isle of Purbeck, about 10 km south of Poole and 40 km east of Dorchester. The parish has a population of 10,124 (2001). Nearby are Ballard Down and Old Harry Rocks, with Studland Bay and Poole Harbour to the north. Within the parish are Durlston Bay and Durlston Country Park to the south of the town. The parish also includes the areas of Herston, just to the west of the town, and Durlston, just to the south. During the peak summer season many people are drawn by the town's beautiful setting, the beach and other attractions. The town has many hotels and guest rooms though the number ( particularly of hotels ) has reduced slightly in recent years. Besides the beach, there are other local attractions including the restored Swanage steam railway and the Victorian pier. The town may also be used a base from which to visit other nearby areas of interest, such as Corfe Castle.
The town, originally a small port and fishing village flourished in the Victorian era, when it first became a significant quarrying port and later a seaside resort for the rich of the day. Today the town remains a popular tourist resort, this being the town's primary industry, with many thousands of visitors coming to the town during the peak summer season, drawn by the bay's sandy beaches and other attractions. During its history the bay was listed variously as Swanawic, Swanwich, Sandwich, and only in more recent history as Swanage.
The Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site ~ this wonderful coast line which stretches from Orcombe Point in East Devon to The Old Harry Rocks near Swanage, is a beautiful part of this area. Swanage Tourist Information Centre (T.I.C.) is an excellent point of reference for all visitors to the area and our friendly staff will be delighted to help you plan your holiday and find out more about the area. By carefully assessing your requirements and interests the staff will ensure you have the very best information to make your holiday a real success.
While fishing is likely the town's oldest industry, quarrying has been important to the town and the local area since at least the 1st century AD. During the time of the Roman occupation this industry grew, with the distinctive Purbeck marble being used for decorative purposes in buildings as far away as London. When the Romans left Britain, quarrying largely ceased until the 12th century. The town is first mentioned in historical texts in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle of 877 AD. It is stated as being the scene of a great naval victory by King Alfred over the Danes: ~ This year came the Danish army into Exeter from Wareham; while the navy sailed west about, until they met with a great mist at sea, and there perished 120 ships at Swanwich. A hundred Danish ships which had survived the battle, were driven by a storm onto Peveril Point, a shallow rocky reef outcropping from the southern end of Swanage bay. In the 12th century demand for Purbeck Marble grew once again. While Purbeck marble is not suited to external use, as it does not weather well, it is however strong and suitably decorative for use as internal columns. As such the stone was used in the construction of many large churches and cathedrals being built as the time.
In contrast to the decorative Purbeck marble, Purbeck limestone, or more commonly 'Purbeck stone', has been used in construction locally since the early days of quarrying in Purbeck. Its use is less well documented as it was taken for granted as the default construction materials in the area. However, the arrival of more modern quarrying techniques in the 17th century resulted in an increase in production. The Great Fire of London in 1666 led to a period of large scale reconstruction in the city, and Purbeck stone was extensively used for paving. It was in this time that stone first started being loaded on ships directly from the Swanage seafront; before this time quarried stone had been first transported to Poole for shipping. The idea that Swanage could become a tourist destination was first encouraged by a local MP William Morton Pitt in the early 19th century, who converted a mansion in the town into a luxury hotel. The hotel is noted for having been visited in 1833 by the ( then ) Princess Victoria, later to become queen. The building was later renamed the Royal Victoria Hotel, now the building has been converted into flats and a bar and nightclub in the left and right wings respectively.

BSAC divers remember crewman aboard First World War warship HMS Pathfinder
Ten BSAC scuba divers, led by Dave Lock, dived down to the wreck of HMS Pathfinder, which lies 68m (223ft) below the surface, and laid a wreath as well as raising the Union flag, in memory of the crew who lost their lives. The aim was also to take more photos and video footage of the wreck to ensure her story is recorded in more detail for future generations.
The scuba divers were joined on the day by family members of some of the brave men who lost their lives including grandfather-of-eight, Malcolm Stern, 85, of Rickmansworth, whose Uncle William was killed aged 22 and is thought to have been the first Jewish sailor to die in the Great War. Also present was Paul Ratcliff, 74, of Canterbury, whose Uncle Bill was just 19 when he died.
Special thank you to Mark Callaghan for putting together this video.
