Wild and Temperate Seas by Will Appleyard

From highlands to islands, wrecks to reefs and caves, Wild and Temperate Seas by Will Appleyard will wet your appetite for UK diving.

This new-style dive guide spotlights over 50 dive sites in 15 picturesque locations from England’s most southerly tip to Scotland’s remote, northerly islands.

Author of Dorset Dives and Discover UK Diving, Will Appleyard and his team of experienced collaborators share their picks as they showcase our beautiful coastal locations.

Many of the dive sites featured in this new guide already appear regularly in avid UK divers’ logbooks. Others are visited by only those with local knowledge and some rarely see divers at all.

All are special in some way to those who have contributed, and evidence for those to whom the UK underwater is still a mystery that once you tame these wild and temperate seas, there really are some magnificent experiences to be had.

As a wise man once said, ‘There’s no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong thermal protection’ (paraphrased). So, demist your mask and embrace the emerald, don your drysuit and conquer the cold... this book shows what incredible quality is waiting to be found if you just scratch the surface of UK diving.

• An introduction to some of the UK’s finest dives
• Covers over 50 accessible sites at 15 beautiful locations across the country
• Includes wrecks and reefs, boat and shore dives
• Stunning images by award-winning underwater photographers.
• The perfect gift for anyone new to or considering diving in the UK
