Perry Ledge

Perry Ledge, now there's a site we always enjoy, even on a day when the visibility isn't playing ball. It’s got this wonderfully rugged feel to it, a proper Cornish dive. We often drop in at the higher parts, around 10 to 15 metres, and just let the gentle current carry us along the ledge itself. You'll find yourself drifting past walls absolutely plastered with beadlet anemones, their tentacles just swaying with the surge. The real draw here, for us, is the rocky overhangs and crevices. We’ve spent whole dives just poking into every nook and cranny. Keep an eye out for nursehounds tucked away, and you'll almost certainly spot a spotted ray or two cruising along the sandy patches at the base. It’s a great spot for macro too; those little flat periwinkles and common shore crabs are everywhere if you slow down and look closely. It’s not about huge pelagics here, more about the intricate beauty of the temperate reef. Suits divers who appreciate a good rummage and don’t mind a bit of a current.
