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) - CONCRETE BARGE 39 offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Concrete Barge 39 sits in only two metres of water, making it a good spot for snorkelers or very shallow dives. It's a broken hull, scattered across the seabed, now home to crabs and small fish darting amongst the concrete slabs. We’d suggest this site for new divers looking for an easy wreck exploration, or for photographers wanting to practice in calm, well-lit conditions.
