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 Lucy Wreck offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Lucy Wreck, off the Cornish coast, is a proper dive into maritime history. She’s a reasonably intact trawler, sitting upright on the seabed, which always makes for a more interesting exploration than scattered debris. We’ve found her wheelhouse is usually the highlight, often draped in dead man’s fingers and home to some surprisingly large conger eels peeking out from various nooks. Visibility can be a bit hit or miss here, typical for the UK, but on a good day, the light filtering through the superstructure is quite something. It’s a solid pick for divers who appreciate a good wreck rummage and aren't chasing tropical colours.
