TWO SISTERS - Cornwall & Devon

The Two Sisters sits deep, a small fishing vessel that went down in 1997 when a Force 5 sea state decided to overwhelm her. We love wrecks with a story, and you can almost feel the chaos of that day imagining the crew scrambling before rescue. She’s only 13 metres long, but at 51 metres, she feels like a proper deep dive. What you'll find is a surprisingly intact little boat, lying upright, which always makes exploration more satisfying. Her wheelhouse is gone, but the hull is solid, and we've spent good bottom time poking around the stern, imagining lines and pots. Look for conger eels tucked into any dark space and dogfish often resting on the seabed nearby. This one is definitely for experienced divers comfortable with depth and managing deco, but the reward is a quiet, reflective dive on a wreck that tells a real tale.
