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) - CORBET WOODALL offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Corbet Woodall, a steamship that met its end in 1917, now lies broken in about 12 metres of water. We love a shallow wreck with some history, and this one delivers. What’s left of her is scattered across the seabed, but the boiler is still upright and makes for a great focal point. We’ve found conger eels tucked into the plates and schools of pollock darting through the superstructure. Visibility can be a bit of a gamble, but on a good day, the light plays beautifully through the metalwork, illuminating the nudibranchs and anemones that cling to every surface. It’s a site that rewards careful exploration, perfect for divers who enjoy picking through the details of a historical wreck rather than just swimming over it. Slack water is key here; the currents can pick up, so check your tides.
