Key amongst these are our signature oddities - an arrangement of 8-foot high carnival jesters that form what we like to collectively refer to as 'jester henge'. Located near the deep wheelhouse at a depth of around 25 metres, these truly surreal statues add a spooky something extra to any dive in this area. Originally painted in bright, garish colours, they've long since taken on darker tones but their eyes still pierce through the gloom - some day those eyes follow you around but we think that may be the effects of narcosis.

Below we present a brief guide to the other miscellaneous objects you may be lucky enough to encounter on your next dive at Vobster...

Measuring 500mm square, these 'ARC modules' serve a very valuable and worthy purpose - the creation of the world’s first multi purpose, modular artificial reef and marine habitat here at Vobster Quay. Vobster was chosen for this pioneering project by environmental research company ARC Marine due to it being one of the registered Ark sites that host a regeneration program for the UK's indigenous white-clawed crayfish population, which is dying out due to habitat destruction and the invasive, aggressive US breed.

ARC Marine has created the worlds first multi-functional artificial reef solution. With a strong, modular design, their reef systems protect against depth trawling, provide a superior marine habitat, can act as a robust anchor point for cages and buoys, and can protect marine structures and coastlines against underwater currents and erosion.
