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) - SUDON (POSSIBLY) offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
We’ve spent a few hours on the Sudon, or what we think is the Sudon. The site is spread out at 13 metres, a proper scramble of metal, making identification tricky. You’ll find a single boiler, some winches, and plates of flattened steel that whisper of a steamship’s past. It’s an easy dive, good for poking around the nooks and crannies where conger eels often hide, or spotting spider crabs clambering over the frames. We’d suggest a good dive light to really pick out the details, especially on a dimmer day.
