RISQUE TOUT
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) - RISQUE TOUT offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The *Risque Tout* offers a genuinely atmospheric dive off the Cornish coast. This 12-meter fishing vessel went down in 1998 after snagging nets on rocks, and now rests upright at 35 meters. We often find the visibility here can be a bit variable, but on a good day, the intact wheelhouse and stern are particularly interesting to explore. There’s a good chance of spotting conger eels lurking in the deeper sections, and the entire wreck is a magnet for dogfish and bib. It’s a solid pick for experienced divers who appreciate exploring a piece of local maritime history.
