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) - SAINT ANDREW offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The *Saint Andrew* offers a dive into maritime history, sitting at 15m. What remains of this sailing vessel, lost in 1526, is scattered across the seabed – a fascinating jumble of timbers and ribs. We’ve found plenty of lobsters tucked into the crevices here, along with spider crabs scuttling over the older sections of hull. It’s a site that really makes you think about the sheer age of some of these wrecks in British waters. Best for those who appreciate exploring historical remnants rather than intact structures, and it’s generally a fairly relaxed dive.
