Noirmont Point Wall
Dive site
The underwater cliffs at Noirmont Point on Jersey's southwest tip descend through 30 metres of vertical granite encrusted with dead men's fingers, plumose anemones, and jewel anemones. The tidal flow here runs fast on the headland, drawing in bass hunting the current and bream picking the rocky base. Conger eels occupy the deeper crevices. The WWII German coastal artillery bunker complex above the waterline makes this a doubly historic site. At slack water the wall dive is accessible to intermediate divers; in full flow it is an advanced drift requiring precise timing. Grey seals occasionally pass through.
