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) - TIGER offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The wreck of the *Tiger*, a 6.7m speedboat, offers a casual dive in the sheltered waters of Cornwall. Sunk in 2002 after taking on water, she now rests upright at a shallow 8m, a perfect depth for those wanting a relaxed exploration. You can still make out the lines of her GRP hull and, with a good torch, peer into where the cabin once was. It’s a small wreck, but over the years, crabs have moved into the nooks, and a good variety of local fish dart around her structure. We’d suggest this one for newer divers or as a second, easy dive of the day.
