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) - RAMSGARTH offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Ramsgarth is a wreck we always recommend, especially for those looking to get a feel for a proper steamship without going too deep. She's sitting upright and mostly intact at 22 metres, making her a solid single-dive exploration. Our favourite part has to be finning along her deck, spotting the two massive boilers standing proud amidships, almost perfectly preserved. You can often see conger eels peering from every crevice, and the schools of pollack tend to hover just above the superstructure, shimmering in the gloom. It’s a site that really delivers that classic wreck diving vibe, perfect for divers comfortable with UK conditions and ready for some atmospheric exploration. Just keep an eye on the tides, as currents can pick up around the headlands.
