A wreck in the Solent is UKs first submarine dive trail to open to tourists. The HMS/mA1 (the first British-designed and built submarine used by the Royal Navy) sank in 1911 in 12m.
Licensed divers can tour the wreck with the help of an underwater
guide. The waterproof tour programme helps them recognise features such
as the conning tower, torpedo loading hatch and stern towing and lifting
cable. Built in 1902, the submarine lies complete and upright on the
seabed.
