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 Mohegan (Wreck) offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Mohegan sits upright at 23 metres, a solid wreck dive for intermediates just off the Lizard. We’ve found her an interesting rummage, with twin props still in place and a good amount of structure to explore, though penetration is best left to those with proper wreck training. It’s home to plenty of wrasse and conger eels, often tucked into the deeper sections of the hull. A good choice for divers looking for a substantial piece of history.
