Diving                                                                                                                                                        Most of the area is littered with wrecks from both wars, Liners, Coasters, Subs and Armed trawlers, some of these are still waiting to be identified. With most of the wrecks being in the 30 metre range they are easily explored. There are some good drifts and an interesting area off Bracklesham Bay where fossil shark teeth can be found.

Angling                                                                                                                                              Being a local lad I have been fishing these waters since 1970, I have good knowledge of the seabed throughout the area and can normally find the target species. Trojan allows us to get to the fish fast and with the large shelter deck, dry!!

The Boat

Trojan is 10.4 x 3.8 metres, with a large shelter deck. Scuba gear is stored on large bench seats so all you have to do is sit in front of your gear and strap it on.  They also make a good seat for anglers needing a rest after a big fish!   

Entry to the water is via a dive platform and the ladder returns you to deck level (no climbing over the gunwales). There is a loo on the main deck along with plenty of storage.  

She is powered by two 300 hp Caterpillar engines giving 20 knot cruise and top speed of 28 knots.

Pick Up Point

Pick up is from Haslar Marina Gosport where there is plenty of parking.

 Facilities include toilets, showers, bars and restaurant.

For divers I have a compressor on site (air only).
