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) - EDEN offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The *Eden* is a proper piece of history, resting upright at 17 metres, which makes for a comfortable dive. We found her in two main sections, stern and bow, with a debris field scattered between them. The torpedo that sent her down in 1917 certainly did its job, creating some interesting penetration points if you’re properly trained and equipped. Look out for the resident conger eels, they’ve made these twisted metal corridors their home, and we’ve often spotted colourful jewel anemones clinging to the plates. It’s a good wreck for those looking to explore a genuine wartime casualty without extreme depth challenges.
