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) - STROMBUS (PART OF) offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Strombus, what’s left of her anyway, sits in very shallow water, just 4 metres deep. It’s a steamship, sunk back in 1942, and while she’s a wreck, it’s more of a scattered field of debris than a grand intact vessel. Think twisted metal plates, sections of hull, and machinery parts, all of it softened by growth. This is a great spot for an extended safety stop or a second, shallower dive, letting you really take your time poking around the nooks and crannies. You’ll find plenty of crabs scuttling amongst the wreckage and various fish darting in and out of the shelter. It’s not a challenging dive, making it ideal for newer divers looking to get a feel for wreck diving without the depth.
