VERA (PROBABLY)

The *Vera* wreck, lying around 44 metres, is a serious dive for experienced wreck enthusiasts. We love this site because it’s not just a pile of metal; it’s a tangible piece of history, often with visibility that lets you appreciate her full length. You’ll find her resting upright, mostly intact, an impressive sight as you descend through the green Cornish water. The stern, in particular, is captivating with the rudder and propeller still in place, inviting exploration. Expect to see walls of dead man’s fingers coating the bulkheads and anemones clinging to every available surface. Schools of pollack dart through the deck openings, and we've often spotted conger eels peeking from beneath plates of steel. Our favourite tip for the *Vera* is to time your dive for slack water; currents here can be powerful, and you’ll want every minute to absorb the atmosphere of this historical steamship. It’s a dive that rewards careful planning and respect for its depth and conditions.
