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) - SEVILLA offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The *Sevilla* is a serious piece of history, resting at 42 metres off the coast of Cornwall. This steamship went down in 1918, and what remains is a substantial wreck for those with the right training. You’ll find two large boilers quite prominent, often attracting conger eels that peer out from the internal structures. The triple expansion engine is also there, a testament to early 20th-century engineering, now draped in soft corals and home to various crabs. It’s a deep dive, suited for experienced wreck divers comfortable with colder water and limited visibility, but the scale of the *Sevilla* makes the effort worthwhile.
