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) - INVERDARGLE (BOW SECTION) (PROBABLY) offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The *Inverdargle* bow section is pure drama. Dropping down onto that imposing structure at 32 metres, you really feel the weight of history. It’s definitely not a gentle introduction to wreck diving. This site demands respect, but it gives back in spades. We love how the strong currents, a frequent companion here, have sculpted the metal, creating these fantastic overhangs and channels for the fish. You’ll find walls of plumose anemones, their feathery tentacles swaying in the surge, and the occasional anglerfish lurking in a shadowed crevice. It’s a proper wreck dive, with plenty of penetration opportunities if you’re qualified and careful. Our favourite moments here are often spent just drifting along the deck, peering into the gloom, imagining what it must have been like when she went down. Expect an experience that's both eerie and exhilarating, a real favourite for divers who appreciate a challenging and atmospheric dive.
