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) - EPIDAURO offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
Dropping onto the Epidauro, you’re met with a proper slice of Cornish history, a steamship that went down in 1913. It's not a deep dive, making it pretty accessible for most divers who are comfortable with wreck environments. The hull and superstructure are still quite defined, creating plenty of nooks and crannies to poke your head into. We often find conger eels tucked away in the darker corners, and the usual suspects like wrasse and blennies flitting about. It’s a good wreck for a leisurely explore, especially on a calm day when the visibility plays ball.
Safety Notes
