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) - LUCI offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The LUCI, an 8.5-meter fishing vessel, went down in 2007, now resting upright at 29 meters. It’s a good choice for divers looking for a compact wreck that's easily navigable. We often find conger eels tucked into the wheelhouse and the hull provides plenty of nooks for crabs and smaller fish. It’s a site that suits divers comfortable at depth who appreciate the chance to really get to know a single wreck. Keep an eye on the thermocline here, as conditions can shift quickly.
