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) - TEELIN HEAD offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
Teelin Head, sunk by a torpedo in 1918, lies at a serious depth of 58 metres, making it one for the experienced trimix crowd. This steamship, 83.5 metres long, offers a substantial dive, with its two boilers and triple-expansion engine still identifiable. We’ve found conger eels tucked into the deeper recesses and plenty of wrasse darting through the superstructure. It's a sombre wreck, but given the depth and exposure, it's remarkably intact and quite a rewarding dive for those with the training to reach it safely.
