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) - REFLECTIONS offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
Reflections, an 8.5-meter cruiser, sits upright at 40 meters on the seabed off Plymouth. Sunk in 2005, it went down in good weather, a bit of a mystery, but thankfully the single crew member was recovered. We've always found it a pretty intact little dive, the wheelhouse still largely there to peer into, though penetration is really only for the smallest, most experienced divers. It's too small to dedicate an entire dive to, but it makes for a fantastic second dive after a deeper wreck or a drift over one of the nearby pinnacles. Look for dogfish resting in the sand nearby and plenty of squat lobsters making homes in the nooks and crannies. A good one for those who appreciate smaller, more personal wrecks.
