EBBER LANE - Cornwall & Devon

Ebber Lane isn't a huge wreck, but we rate it highly for a productive dive, particularly for photographers and those who appreciate a good story. This little fishing vessel sits upright at 16 metres, completely encrusted in colourful jewel anemones. We’ve often found dogfish tucked into her nooks, and the occasional crab scuttling across her bow. What makes Ebber Lane special is the way the light catches those anemones, especially on a sunny day. It’s like diving into a kaleidoscope. We love exploring her small wheelhouse, now home to pipefish, and peering into the holds where conger eels sometimes lurk. It’s a site that changes subtly with the seasons; in late summer, the kelp can grow quite tall around her, adding to the atmosphere. We'd suggest a slack water dive to really appreciate the vibrant colours and the calmer conditions. Ebber Lane is perfect for divers who enjoy intricate details and a rewarding, easy-going dive.
