Jersey Coast
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) - SUSAN K offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Susan K, a small wreck resting in just two metres of water, offers a unique kind of dive off the coast. It’s not about grand coral formations here, but rather a glimpse into maritime history. We’ve found it’s a brilliant spot for newer divers getting used to wreck diving, or even for some relaxed snorkelling on a calm day. Look closely and you’ll find crabs tucked into crevices and small schools of fish darting amongst the rusted plates. We’d suggest going at high tide for the best visibility, otherwise, it can get a bit silty.
