Alright, La Saline. We know what the data says, but we also know that Cornwall isn't exactly famous for its coral reefs. Digging into this, "La Saline" pops up as a reef site in France, specifically Réunion Island, then another in New Caledonia. It seems our data has confused a former reef in France with a dive site in Cornwall & Devon. We’ve found no reputable dive guides or local operators listing a dive site named "La Saline" in Cornwall & Devon. Our best guess? This is an error in the data. So, while we'd love to tell you about diving La Saline, we can't recommend a site that doesn't seem to exist in this location. Instead, if you're looking for standout diving in Cornwall, we’d point you towards sites like the Manacles or around the Lizard Peninsula for some truly impressive wreck diving and encounters with seals. For reef dives with incredible biodiversity, you won't beat the Scilly Isles, though those are a fair bit further offshore. We always recommend checking with local dive centres. They're the best source for up-to-date conditions and site information.
