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) - GLORY offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Glory, a Brixham-registered trawler built in 1906, now rests just off the coast, a relic from a bygone era. Her 19.1m hull, damaged in 1938 after breaking moorings, is well-colonised. We've seen conger eels tucked into shadowy nooks and small wrasse darting around the remaining timbers. It’s a shallow dive, so you get decent bottom time to explore the skeletal remains of her superstructure, offering a glimpse into early 20th-century fishing vessels. This site is ideal for those interested in maritime history and macro life, a gentle exploration rather than a deep penetration.
Safety Notes
Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
