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) - CLYDE offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Clyde, a steamship lost in 1902, rests at 33 metres, offering a satisfying dive for those keen on historical wrecks. We find her largely intact, a testament to her sturdy 1880 build. You can trace her 40-metre length, making out the single boiler and the lines of the compound expansion engine, now well-colonised by plumose anemones. It's a proper wreck dive, with plenty of nooks for conger eels to lurk and often schools of pollack circling the superstructure. We'd suggest this for divers comfortable with depth and slightly chillier UK waters, keen to immerse themselves in a piece of maritime history.
