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) - SALLY JANE offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Sally Jane, a beam trawler that went down in 2013, sits upright at 21 metres. It’s a relatively intact wreck, compact at 13.6 metres long, which makes for a good single dive. You can swim through the wheelhouse and find plenty of resident bib, wrasse, and dogfish sheltering in the holds. Being a newer wreck, it hasn’t been totally overgrown, so you get a clear view of its structure and the fishing gear still present. It's a solid dive for those who enjoy exploring the bones of a ship rather than just a reef.
