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) - Knoll Pins offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
Knoll Pins offers a dive around a series of granite pinnacles, rising from the seabed in this stretch of Cornwall and Devon. The site typically presents kelp forests near the surface, giving way to colourful anemones and sponges lower down as the light fades. We often find pollack and wrasse darting through the rocks, with occasional sightings of conger eels tucked into crevices. This spot is a solid pick for divers looking for classic UK temperate water marine life without needing extreme depths.
