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) - ST GEORGE (POSSIBLY) offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
We’ve had some good days on the St George, though pinning down its identity can be a bit of a local pastime. This steamship went down in 1881, and today sits upright at 35 metres. You’ll find two substantial boilers dominating the midsection, and the compound expansion engine is still quite recognisable. The wreck acts as a fantastic artificial reef; we’ve seen some hefty conger eels curled up in crevices, and plenty of bib and pollack darting through the superstructure. It's a solid dive for experienced wreck enthusiasts who appreciate a bit of history and a decent depth.
