Exeter BSAC in Cornwall & Devon isn't about dramatic drop-offs, but it's a solid club site that offers easy access to some interesting local finds. You'll likely spend your dive exploring the shallower areas, where species like bladder wrack and irish moss make for good macro hunting. We've seen plenty of common sea stars and pipefish here, and even a bass or two scooting through the kelp. It’s a decent spot for local divers to get in the water, practice skills, or just enjoy a relaxed hour without a long boat trip.
