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) - SHALLOM offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The *Shallom* is a small, intact fishing vessel, sunk back in 1983. Sitting at a shallow 9 metres, it’s a brilliant dive for those newer to wreck diving or anyone looking for a relaxed, longer bottom time. The wheelhouse is still there, largely intact, and you can swim through the small hold. Expect to find plenty of crabs tucked into crevices and, if you’re lucky, a curious dogfish cruising past. We think it’s a great second dive to finish the day.
