Hand Deeps


Hand Deeps is an area of the English Channel located 8 nms south-west of Rame Head, Cornwall and 3.5 nm north-west of the Eddystone. The name comes from the five pinnacles there which rise from the surrounding sea bed depth of 55 metres to depth between 7 and 19 metres from the surface. The pinnacles are within a rectangle about 1 nm north-south and 0.5 nm west-east.
The central pinnacle at rises from more than 40 metres to 7 metres. Its anemone-covered walls and frequent good visibility make it a popular dive site.
