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) - FAITH offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The *Faith* wreck, a sailing vessel, lies at 31 metres in the often-chilly waters off Cornwall. When we last dropped in, the visibility was a decent 10 metres, enough to make out the distinct lines of her hull. She’s classified as a dangerous wreck, so we prefer to keep our explorations to the exterior, admiring the way the kelp fronds sway over her timbers. It's a proper British wreck dive; a bit dark, a bit silty, but home to plenty of conger eels tucked into crevices and wrasse darting between the decaying planks. Best for experienced divers comfortable in low visibility and cooler temperatures.
