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) - Cita offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
Cita, off the coast of Cornwall, is a wreck dive that typically sits in deeper water. We've found it’s usually best suited for experienced divers due to potential currents and depth, though conditions can vary. Expect to see the usual suspects for a UK wreck: crabs, lobsters, and often a decent amount of fish life sheltering in the structure. It’s a classic British wreck dive, generally chilly, but rewarding for those who like exploring history.
