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) - North Wall offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wall diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The North Wall in Cornwall offers a straightforward wall dive, dropping to around 20 meters. It’s a good spot for finding wrasse and small crustaceans tucked into the crevices. We’d suggest this one for newer divers looking to get comfortable with deeper profiles in a relatively sheltered environment, or for an easy second dive. Just keep an eye on the tides, as currents can pick up a bit at times.
