    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    The wreck of the STEN, a steamship torpedoed in 1917, lies upright at 34 meters off Godrevy Lighthouse. She's a proper British wartime wreck, broken but recognisable, with a lot of the structure still holding its form. You’ll often find conger eels tucked into the deeper sections and crabs scuttling amongst the plates, and the current can really bring the jewel anemones to life on her exposed surfaces. This site is best suited for experienced divers comfortable with deeper wrecks and the often-variable conditions of the Celtic Sea.
