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) - Volnay offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Volnay is a decent wreck dive off the coast of Cornwall, sitting upright in about 30 metres. Visibility can be a bit of a gamble, but on a good day, you'll find plenty of resident wrasse, conger eels tucked into nooks, and often dogfish resting on the seabed nearby. It's a straightforward dive, best suited for experienced divers comfortable in colder water and with potential currents. We'd suggest checking local conditions before heading out.
