Protected Area
Arfordir Penrhyn Angle / Angle Peninsula Coast
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 Greek offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Greek wreck, off the Cornwall coast, offers a proper slice of UK diving. It’s a good size, broken but still recognisable, with plenty of nooks and crannies to nose into. Expect to find conger eels tucked into the darker corners, and various crabs scuttling across the plates. The visibility can be a bit hit or miss, as is often the case around here, but when it’s good, the sheer volume of pollack and wrasse darting through the structure is impressive. We’d say it’s best suited for those with a bit of cold-water experience who appreciate a good metal wreck.
