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) - THRUSH (POSSIBLY) offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Thrush (Possibly) is a neat little wreck site, sitting in just 11 metres of water off the Cornwall and Devon coast. What we’ve got here is a barge, scuttled back in 1904 after dragging its anchor and running aground. It’s well-broken now, a scattered collection of ribs and plates that have settled into the seabed. You’ll find crabs tucked into crevices and anemones waving from the exposed metal, with schools of juvenile pollack often circling above. It’s a gentle dive, perfect for newer wreck divers or anyone looking for a relaxed second dive.
