SUEVIC (BOW SECTION)
Protected Area
Lizard Point
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) - SUEVIC (BOW SECTION) offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The bow section of the *Suevic* sits shallow, just off the Lizard, a good shout for a second dive or if you’re short on bottom time. At 10m, it's accessible to most divers, and while it's only a small part of the original White Star liner, it’s remarkably intact. We’ve found conger eels tucked into the plating and plenty of wrasse darting around the kelp that now grows over the structure. It’s not a deep penetration dive, but you can certainly swim through some of the open sections, getting a feel for the scale of the old girl. It’s a solid wreck dive, without the demands of deeper, more exposed sites.
