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) - CS41 offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The CS41 sits off the coast, a fishing vessel that met its end in 1973. We found her settled upright, quite a cohesive wreck despite the years. Visibility here can be a bit variable, but on a good day, you can really make out the superstructure and the working parts of a trawlerman. Conger eels are often tucked into the deeper recesses, and the whole hull is encrusted with anemones and sponges. It’s a proper wreck dive, best for those who enjoy poking around something with a bit of history.
Safety Notes
Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
