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) - The Bizzies offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest reef diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
Saint Johns Reef offers extensive coral formations, a good spot for divers who enjoy exploring varied reef topography. We've seen both Bridled and Long-beaked Dolphins here, so keep an eye on the blue. The currents can be playful, so it’s best for those comfortable with drift diving. If you're looking for a relaxed multi-day liveaboard trip, this area is a solid choice.
