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) - GLENO offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Gleno, a steamship sunk in 1917, lies upright on the seabed at 39 meters. It’s a respectable dive, particularly for those with an interest in early 20th-century wrecks. You can still pick out the single boiler and aft machinery, remnants of its compound engine and single shaft propulsion, which gives it a real sense of history. Because she’s been down there for over a century, the wreck has become a home for a decent amount of local marine life. We often spot conger eels tucked into the darker crevices and plenty of wrasse darting through the structure. It’s a good choice for experienced divers looking for a solid wreck dive without extreme currents.
