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) - ENDEAVOUR (POSSIBLY) offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The *Endeavour* wreck, or what we believe to be it, sits at 58 metres, a spot for experienced wreck divers comfortable with depth. This small fishing vessel, just 11 metres long, capsized and sank in 1981 after its gear snagged on the seabed. She lies overturned, and while not much remains in terms of structure, the hull offers a dark, encrusted shelter for conger eels and squat lobsters. It's a proper technical dive, and with the currents that run through these waters, we’d suggest careful planning and a good eye on the tide tables. Visibility here can be tricky, but on a good day, the low light reveals a surprising amount of invertebrate life clinging to the metal.
