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) - FANNY offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Fanny, a cutter that met its end on Les Buttes, is now a collection of scattered remains on the seabed. There isn't a single, intact structure here, more a debris field that tells a story if you know where to look. We’ve found bits of timber, rusted fastenings, and sometimes a stray piece of ceramic amongst the rocks. It’s not a deep dive, making it a good spot for newer wreck enthusiasts to practice navigation and observation in calmer conditions. Look for squat lobsters tucked into crevices and small blennies darting between the fragments; the local marine life has certainly made itself at home.
Safety Notes
