TAYO
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) - TAYO offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Tayo is a stern section, now scattered in shallow water near a sheltered cove. At just one metre deep, it’s a good spot for snorkelers or very new divers keen to explore a piece of history without going deep. We've seen conger eels in the deeper crevices and plenty of wrasse darting through the kelp-covered remains. It’s a gentle introduction to wreck diving, particularly on a calm day.
