FAGERNES (PROBABLY)

The *Fagernes*, or what we're pretty sure is the *Fagernes*, is just superb. This is a big wreck, lying proud and upright on the seabed at 34 metres, and it makes for a proper dive when the visibility is playing ball. We love that it’s still so intact, the bow is especially impressive, pointing into the gloom as if it's still steaming somewhere. You can explore the holds, watch the light filter through where the decks have collapsed, and really get a sense of its history. Even though it’s a deep dive, it’s often sheltered from the worst of the current, which means more bottom time to take in the sheer scale of the ship. Dead man’s fingers carpet the steel, making it feel ancient, and there are always plenty of conger eels peering out from every nook. For divers who appreciate a substantial piece of maritime history and don’t mind the depth, this is one of our favourite Cornish wrecks. Try to hit it on a slack tide for the best experience.
