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) - CREAG MHOR offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
Creag Mhor is a beauty, even if it’s more of a paddle than a dive. This isn’t about depth, it’s about history and a truly unique snorkel. The fishing vessel ran aground in 1977, and we love how much of it is still visible, even at low tide. You can see the mast sticking out, a stark reminder of its dramatic end. When you’re in the water, the metalwork is draped in kelp and anemones. We’ve seen blennies darting in and out of crevices, and crabs scuttling across the rusty deck plates. It’s perfect for a calm day, especially if you have non-diving friends or kids who want to get in the water and explore a wreck. Our advice: go at mid-tide for the best visibility and a chance to really appreciate the scale of the wreck from the surface. It’s a proper piece of maritime history, right there for you to touch.
