Ordnance / explosive / UXO ocean dump sites.

This link takes you to a document that lists the locations and other details of all British sea dumping activities around the British Isles ( includes explosives, chemicals and radioactive materials). http://www.mod.uk/NR/rdonlyres/5750E1D8-5CC6-47F6-BC88-1849BB11B0A8/0/std_reply_sea_dump.pdf

I have also scanned the relevant page that lists the explosive dump sites.

I was involved in a deep sea dump in the South China Sea in the early 1980's. A quantity of surplus munitions was taken from the Ammunition Sub-Depot in Hong Kong and dumped from an LSL ( Landing Ship Logistic) en route to re-supply the Garrison in Brunei.
