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) - SARAH JAYNE offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Sarah Jayne, a fishing vessel that went down in 2012, lies upright at 48 metres. She’s a decent dive for those with deep wreck experience, not huge at 14.9 metres, but surprisingly intact. We’ve found her often covered in plumose anemones, and conger eels are pretty much guaranteed in the nooks and crannies of the wheelhouse and engine room. It’s a good technical dive for extending bottom time, and the wreck itself makes a solid navigation challenge in the often-murky Cornish water.
