KIND OF MAGIC (POSSIBLY) - Cornwall & Devon

Okay, let's talk about the *Kind of Magic (Possibly)*. Forget your usual wreck dive, this one is pure detective work. Descending to 55 metres, you're not just looking at a wreck, you're looking for one – the potential remains of a 30-foot sailing vessel, supposedly stolen back in '99. It’s less about grand exploration and more about the thrill of the hunt, combing the seabed for anything that hints at a boat. We love the sheer mystery here. It’s cold, it’s deep, and often pretty dark, even on a sunny day. The currents can be tricky, so you need your wits about you. What you’ll find, if anything, are scattered timbers, perhaps a mast or a keel half-buried in the sand. This isn't a site for spotting specific species, more for seeing the hardy critters that cling to any available surface down deep: squat lobsters in crevices, the occasional dogfish patrolling the perimeter. It really suits divers who appreciate a challenge and a good story, who aren't afraid of a bit of a treasure hunt in the murky depths off the Cornish coast. Bring your best dive lights and an active imagination.
