WRECKS WRECKS WRECKS - One of the main reasons divers come to dive around Cornwalls convoluted shore line is its long association with smuggling and wrecks. Much of this maritime history still lies upon the seabed waiting for you to explore. Go to the wrecks page to see just some of the numerous wrecks available to dive around the Lizard peninsula. Take a look at some of the amazing artefacts discovered by Lizard Diver members, and learn how you can visit these historical sites.

SHORE DIVING AND BOAT LAUNCHING - although some parts of the Cornish coast have difficult access, there are a safe shore dives well worth a visit. Boats can be launched from several of the beaches & harbours around The Lizard.

REEF AND DRIFT DIVING - Wrecks are not the only reason divers come to Cornwall - strong tidal currents running along the coast provide a rich source of food for marine and plant life. In places, the variety and density of marine life has to be seen to be believed. Why not harness the power of these tidal streams and 'hitch a lift' - undertake a drift dive around the Lizard coast on the flood tide - an experience to remember!

BASKING SHARKS - the early summer of 1999 saw the UK go Basking Shark crazy as large numbers of these incredible animals swam in the shallow waters off Kennack Sands - why not get a ringside seat for this summer's possible encounter...

ACCOMMODATION - if you would like to take part in any of the above, or try our certificated courses see the accommodation page for details about where to stay in South West Cornwall. Whether you prefer a tent or a luxury hotel we have the answers. Great off-season rates are normally available. If you want a diving & accommodation package arranging let us know what you need.

 

We aim to provide a unique dive experience for the diver visiting Cornwall. From Falmouth Bay, past the famous Helford River estuary and the notorious Manacles to Coverack and Black Head, Kennack Sands and Cadgwith, around Lizard Point to Mullion, Gunwalloe, Loe Bar, Porthleven and on to Mounts Bay where an array of dive adventures await. From the absolute beginner to the technical diving rebreather user there's diving action to suit you! Fantastic scenic & drift diving around Cornwalls varied coastline with probably some of the best underwater visibility and marine life (including Basking Sharks) in the country due to the strong tidal currents sweeping in from the Atlantic. Visit the Lizard Diver Gallery and get a taste for diving the area. If you wish to do a shipwreck diving course then you are coming to the right place - for hundreds of years The Lizard coastline has been a danger to shipping - so there's plenty to choose from!
