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) - Carmine Filomena offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Carmine Filomena, off the coast of Cornwall, is a popular wreck dive. We've found it’s usually best suited for advanced divers due to potential strong currents and varying visibility. Expect to explore the remains of the old cargo ship, often surrounded by curious wrasse and the occasional conger eel peeking from the shadows. It’s a solid choice for those keen on wreck exploration in UK waters.
