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) - TANDIL (PROBABLY) offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The *Tandil*, a steamship resting at 55 meters, offers a proper deep wreck dive off the Cornish coast. Built in 1900, she went down in 1917, and her substantial 98.8-meter length means there's plenty to explore, even if the visibility keeps things mysterious. We often find conger eels tucked into her structure, and the twin boilers are always a good landmark to orient yourself. This is a dive for those comfortable with deeper profiles and the generally chillier, darker conditions of the UK.
