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) - SEAHAWK offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Seahawk, a fishing vessel that met its end on the rocks in 1992, is a good pick for a solid dive when you’re around Cornwall and Devon. She's broken up, as you'd expect from a rock-bound wreck, but that just means more nooks and crannies for the local residents. We’ve found conger eels tucked into the larger sections and spider crabs scuttling across the exposed hull plates. It’s a site that suits divers who enjoy piecing together a wreck's story, exploring the scattered remains rather than a single intact structure. Expect decent visibility on a good day, revealing the metalwork now encrusted with anemones and hydroids.
Safety Notes
Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
