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) - GLEN (POSSIBLY) offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The GLEN, a small fishing vessel that met its end rather dramatically by fire in 1981, often gets overlooked in favour of Cornwall’s bigger wrecks. That’s a mistake, we think. Sitting upright at 27 metres, this isn't some vast, sprawling freighter, but its compact size is precisely what makes it so engaging. You can really get a feel for the whole vessel in one dive, poking around the wheelhouse area and imagining the blaze. What we really love about the GLEN is how quickly marine life has adopted it. We’ve seen conger eels peering from every conceivable nook, and often find spider crabs clambering over the bow. The light filters down nicely on a sunny day, illuminating the jewel anemones that are starting to colonise the metalwork. It’s a great wreck for those looking for something a bit more intimate, where you can spend your bottom time truly exploring rather than just cruising past.
