SIRIUS 2
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) - SIRIUS 2 offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The SIRIUS 2 isn't your typical deep wreck dive; at a maximum depth of just one metre, this is more of a snorkel or very shallow explore. What you get, however, is a fascinating look at a dangerous wreck, still very much being reclaimed by the sea. We’ve seen small wrasse darting through the broken timbers and plenty of anemones clinging to whatever solid surface they can find. It’s a great spot for a calm day when you want a different kind of wreck experience, perhaps for photographers looking for interesting surface shots or families with keen snorkellers. Just keep a close eye on the tides.
