Why dive here
With 176+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales and ocean sunfish (mola mola) - BLUE SONATA offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Blue Sonata, a 10-meter fishing vessel, rests upright at 20 meters, a relatively recent addition to the seabed, having gone down in 2005. Its small size means you can circumnavigate the entire wreck in a single dive, making it a good choice for those keen on getting a full picture without rushing. We've found lobsters and crabs tucked into crevices, and sometimes a dogfish or two will cruise by. It's a straightforward wreck dive, generally sheltered from strong currents, though visibility can be typical for the area, shifting with the tides.
