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) - ENID offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Enid is a small yacht, sitting upright in just 2m of water. It's really more of a snorkel or a very shallow shore dive, perfect for beginners getting comfortable with kit in calm conditions. We’ve found blennies, small crabs, and anemones making a home in the exposed timbers. It's a quick, easy exploration for anyone keen on a simple wreck encounter.
