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) - SVERRESBORG offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The SVERRESBORG is a deep dive, sitting at 56 metres off Trevose Head, making it one for experienced technical divers. We’re talking about a steamship torpedoed in 1915, a 70-meter vessel that’s now a proper playground for anyone comfortable with the depth and the often-lively Cornish currents. You’ll find the wreck well broken in places, but key features like the bow and stern offer structure, often draped in dead man's fingers and anemones. Look for conger eels hiding in the darker recesses and schools of pouting weaving through the skeletal remains. It’s a challenging dive, but the history and the sheer scale of the wreck make it a rewarding one.
