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) - TENACE offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Tenace, a yacht that met its end in 1967 after a collision, rests upright at 30 metres. It’s a good, solid dive for those who appreciate a smaller wreck with a bit of history. You'll find the structure largely intact, offering easy penetration into the cabin for suitably qualified divers, though do watch for silt. Over the years, the wreck has become a habitat for local critters – expect to see plenty of wrasse darting through the superstructure and conger eels peeking out from darker corners. It’s a rewarding dive, especially when the visibility is good, offering a peek into the maritime past of the English Channel.
