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 GEORGES offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
Diving the St. Georges in Cornwall offers a solid wreck experience for those keen on history. Sunk by a German U-boat in 1918, this sailing vessel sits at 30 meters, meaning good dive planning is key. The wreck itself is broken but still offers a sense of its original form, with timbers and hull plates scattered across the seabed. Expect to find conger eels tucked into crevices, some wrasse darting through the debris, and an occasional lobster peering out from beneath a collapsed section. It’s a dive for those who appreciate maritime history and the quiet colonisation of the sea.
