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) - TRAM offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The TRAM, a 12.2-meter yacht, sits upright on the seabed at 21 meters, having sunk while under tow back in '94. It’s a pretty photogenic wreck, not massive but very intact, a real time capsule of a leisure vessel. We love how the wheelhouse offers an easy swim-through, and you’ll often find conger eels tucked into the deeper recesses of the hull. It’s a calm dive, usually with decent visibility, making it a good pick for those newer to wreck diving or anyone looking for a relaxed second dive.
