    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Landore is a proper Cornish wreck, and we love it for its sheer accessibility and surprising character. Resting in just three metres, it’s not going to test your deep diving skills, but it’s fantastic for a leisurely exploration. You’ll spend most of your time finning over twisted plates and ribs, the ship’s structure now a skeleton. We’ve found conger eels tucked into the larger sections, their heads poking out from the gloom. If you come on a calm day, especially around slack high water, the visibility can open up to a very pleasant 5-6 metres. This lets you properly appreciate the scale of the boiler, a really prominent feature that stands proud of the seabed. It’s an ideal site for new wreck divers or anyone keen on a relaxed dive that still feels like a proper adventure. Our favourite aspect? How the light filters through the shallow water, illuminating the rust colours and the small shoals of pollack darting through the wreckage. It’s quite atmospheric, even at this depth.
