ENID - Cornwall & Devon

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.
