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) - INGER offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Inger, a steamship that went down in 1916, is a proper dive for those who appreciate a deeper wreck. Lying at 49 metres, she’s largely intact, offering a good chance to explore the bow and stern sections, though we’d suggest keeping an eye on your bottom time. What makes her particularly interesting is how the resident conger eels and squat lobsters have made a home in the nooks and crannies. It's a challenging dive, best suited for experienced divers comfortable with the depth and potential for variable visibility, but a rewarding one for wreck enthusiasts looking for a piece of maritime history off the Cornish coast.
