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) - TRIO offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Trio wreck is a fantastic dive, especially if you're into history and the way the ocean reclaims things. Lying on its side, the bow is the deepest part, sitting at around 27 meters, while the stern comes up to about 18 meters. We love tracing the deck, noting where the superstructure has collapsed inward, creating swim-throughs for the more adventurous. Look out for conger eels peering from every crevice and a good scattering of jewel anemones adding bursts of colour. It’s a site that gives you plenty to explore without being overwhelming, good for anyone comfortable with a bit of depth and keen to poke around a proper ship.
