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) - SEA FARER (POSSIBLY) offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Sea Farer, a 15-meter fishing vessel, rests at 52 meters, a silent testament to a fire in its engine room back in '83. Dropping down, you’ll find her relatively intact for a wreck of her age and depth, with the general outline of the hull still discernible. We’ve seen conger eels poking out from collapsed sections and plenty of colourful jewel anemones covering the metalwork, a vibrant contrast to the deeper, colder water. It’s a dive for those comfortable with deeper decompression obligations and keen on exploring the working history of the Cornish coast.
