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) - GLENBERVIE offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Glenbervie is pure Cornwall magic, a classic deep wreck that gives you a proper dive even when the weather isn’t playing ball. We love that it’s usually sheltered, so you can often get on it when other sites are blown out. Dropping onto her, you’ll find a solid piece of history sitting upright at around 30 metres. The bow is usually the most intact section, a great spot to hover and watch the conger eels peeking out of every crevice. We always find the stern more broken, but that just means more nooks for lobsters and crabs. Visibility here can be a bit of a lottery – sometimes you’ll get 15 metres, other days it’s closer to five, a real pea-souper. Either way, the wreck’s structure is enough to keep you occupied, tracing the lines of her ribs and decking, imagining her last moments. Best for those comfortable with deeper dives and a bit of current, it’s a site that rewards repeat visits as the light and conditions change.
