LCT 232
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) - LCT 232 offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
We absolutely love the LCT 232. For a shallow wreck, it really delivers. This landing craft sits upright at just 10 metres, often closer to 8 at high tide, making it perfect for longer dives, even for newer divers getting into wrecks. You can spend a full hour here, poking around the holds, imagining the trucks and troops it once carried. What truly makes it for us, though, is how completely colonised it is. The bow section, in particular, becomes a dense forest of dead man's fingers and anemones, especially vibrant when the sunlight filters through after a stormy patch. Look closer in the nooks and crannies for squat lobsters and blennies, and we’ve often seen dogfish nestled in the sand just off the stern. Our favourite time to dive it is an hour before slack high water; visibility tends to be at its best then, and the light really brings out the colours of the encrusting life.
