With 176+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales and ocean sunfish (mola mola) - LB 332 OR LB 362 (POSSIBLY) offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
Diving the LB 332 or LB 362 off Cornwall and Devon, you're not just dropping onto a piece of metal, you're visiting a wartime grave. Sunk by German aircraft in 1942, this barge lies deep, around 59 metres, making it a serious technical dive. What we love about this wreck is the quiet solemnity of it, far from the busier sites. It’s a place for experienced wreck divers who appreciate the history as much as the exploration. You'll find the structure heavily colonised now; we've seen conger eels peering from every dark recess and spider crabs scuttling across the deck plates. The visibility here can be temperamental, as is typical of the English Channel, so picking a calm day with neap tides is crucial for the best experience. Our favourite dives here have been when a shaft of light has managed to pierce the green gloom, illuminating the ghostly outline of the cargo hold.
