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) - TILL (POSSIBLY) offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The **Till**, just off the Lizard, is one of those wrecks we keep coming back to. We’re talking about an old steam trawler, sent to the bottom by a U-boat in 1918, and she’s a proper dive at 29 metres. The wreck itself is largely broken up, but the general outline is still there. You’ll find the boiler standing proud, a real focal point, and the propeller shaft stretches out from it, disappearing into the seabed. What we love about the Till is the way the sea has reclaimed it. Big schools of bib and pollack hang around the superstructure, shimmering in the beams of your torch. Look closely and you'll spot conger eels in the nooks, and we’ve often seen impressive dogfish tucked into the sand nearby. It’s a dive for those who appreciate history and the way the ocean transforms man-made objects. Go on a slack tide, obviously, to really make the most of exploring the debris field.
