Lundy Island Dive and Accommodation Package 2012

Around England there is 5913 kilometres of coastline containing 8000 species of animals and plants. Of this coastline there exists only one protected area...Lundy Island Marine Nature Reserve. As a result this small island lying 11 miles off the western coast in the Bristol Channel, has a well deserved reputation for scuba diving. Strong currents sweep around the island, bringing food to the many types of marine life thriving in its waters. Life to expect includes Kelp, Sea Fans, Sponges, Sea Urchins, Sea Slugs, Wrasse and hydroids to name but a few. One of the main reasons people dive on Lundy is for the chance to interact with the Grey Seals. The Island has its own breeding colony that uses the inaccessible beaches and caves for pupping.
