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) - SHOREHAM (PROBABLY) offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The *Shoreham* wreck, or at least the one we think is the *Shoreham*, sits upright at 48 metres, making it a dive for those comfortable with deeper decompression obligations. You’ll find her main structure largely intact, particularly the stern where the single boiler and triple expansion engine are still identifiable. Even after almost a century on the seabed, the machinery is impressive. We often spot conger eels in the deeper crevices and squat lobsters clinging to the plating. It’s a proper expedition dive, best for experienced wreck enthusiasts who appreciate a bit of history and don't mind the chill of the UK waters.
