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) - KENDY offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Kendy is an old steamship, sunk in 1928, sitting shallow at seven metres. We think it’s a good little dive for newer wreck enthusiasts, or as a second dive when you’re looking for something relaxed. She’s only 28 metres long, so you can take your time exploring the remaining structure. The wreck itself has become home to plenty of wrasse and blennies darting in and out of the plating, and you’ll find crabs tucked into the nooks and crannies. While not intact, her history and the marine life make for a pleasant hour underwater.
