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) - LILY offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The LILY is a shallow wreck, barely breaking the surface in places. While it’s technically a wreck, don’t expect a traditional dive; it’s more of an intertidal scramble, ideal for a snorkel or a very shallow free-dive at low tide. We’ve spotted crabs tucked into crevices and small fish darting through the rusted metal. It’s perfect for a quick peek or for those wanting to explore a bit of history without needing to gear up fully.
