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) - SCARWEATHER LTV offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Scarweather LTV is a classic dive for anyone keen on the UK's historical shipwrecks. This lightship, a vessel owned by Trinity House, sank in 1942 after a collision with a minesweeper, and now rests upright at 27 metres. We usually find it’s home to plenty of wrasse and pollock darting through the superstructure, and the intact shape of the ship is still very much there, giving it a real sense of its former life. Currents here are often light, making it a good, relaxed wreck dive for those comfortable at depth.
