JMT M99

The JMT M99, a fishing vessel resting at 51 metres, is a proper technical dive, and one we absolutely love in the often-overlooked waters of Cornwall. This isn't a beginner’s drift, the depth means you’ll need your certs and your wits about you, but the rewards are there. We often find the visibility here surprisingly good for the UK, sometimes pushing 15 metres on a calm day, allowing the wreck to emerge slowly from the green depths. What makes the M99 so special? It’s not just a pile of metal; it’s still very much a ship. You can make out the wheelhouse, the hold, and the deck machinery, all encrusted with dense plumose anemones that pulse gently in the current. We’ve often seen conger eels lurking in the deeper recesses, and large pollack drift lazily above the superstructure. It’s a site that feels remote and wild, a true expedition into the cool, dark Atlantic. Our best advice? Pick a slack tide, pack an extra cylinder, and take your time exploring her.
