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) - SERENITY offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Serenity wreck, an 8.2-meter yacht that went down in Tor Bay following a fire back in 1977, is a gentle dip for divers. Sitting at a maximum depth of 11 meters, it’s a site we’d recommend for those looking for an easy, shallow exploration. You'll find plenty of crabs tucked into the nooks and crannies of the decaying hull, and the occasional dogfish patrolling the sandy bottom around the wreck. Visibility can swing a bit here, as with many sites in the UK, but on a good day, it’s a pleasant enough spot to spend some time poking around. It’s a nice option for a relaxed dive, perhaps as a second dive of the day or for newer wreck divers.
