Diving the Reef at Budleigh Salterton 9th September 2012

Really great dive on the Reef at Budleigh, 10 mins swim out from the shore. Two cuttle fish caught on video, odd they did not change colour when they posed in their 'threatening position'. The large wrasse were out and the viz was near 6 metres!

I would say that this is the best shore dive site, better than Chesil beach. A bit boring during the 10 min swim on way out and and back. You have to correct for the tide drift on the out and back from the reef. otherwise you find you have a long walk at the end of a dive with all your kit!!

The only down side to the whole thing is the parking, where you are limited to 2 hours on the road. You could drop the stuff off and park in the nearby main car-park but then there is the fag of getting the car and getting a nearby parking place on the road.
