TREVEAL

Treveal is one of our favourite Cornwall wrecks, and one you shouldn't miss if you're in the area. Sunk in 1920, this 122-metre steamship lies in quite a sheltered spot, making it accessible on days when other deeper sites are blown out. We love how much of the original structure is still identifiable – you can trace the huge boilers, the triple-expansion engine, and even some of the deck plating. The ambient light at just 4 metres depth means you often don't need a torch, though one can help bring out the colours of the jewel anemones that coat the metalwork. Shoals of pollock swirl around the bow, and we’ve often found dogfish tucked into crevices. It’s a gentle dive, perfect for extended bottom times and for those who enjoy really picking apart a wreck's history. Just remember, it’s a popular spot, so aim for an early morning dive if you want the place to yourself.
