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) - RIVERTON (STERN PORTION) (POSSIBLY) offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
Diving the Riverton's stern in Cornwall offers a glimpse into wartime history. The wreck sits upright, still holding the powerful triple-expansion engine and four boilers, a real testament to its past. We’ve found conger eels tucked into the machinery and plenty of plumose anemones carpeting the metalwork, especially around the prop shaft. It’s a good dive for those who appreciate industrial archaeology underwater and don't mind a bit of a current, which can sometimes make for a more dynamic exploration.
Safety Notes
Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
