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) - BRETT offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The *Brett* offers a compact wreck dive, lying at a maximum depth of 34 metres. This tug, just 15.2 metres long, went down in 1989 while being towed, making for an interesting, if somewhat small, exploration. What it lacks in size, it makes up for in character; we've found conger eels tucked into various nooks and crannies, and plenty of wrasse darting around the structure. It’s a good choice for divers looking for a straightforward wreck experience without demanding penetration, though the depth means it’s best for those comfortable with deeper profiles. Visibility here can be typical for the area, so picking a calm day is key to enjoying the details.
