Lizard Area Wrecks

wrecks, wrecks, wrecks…….

Britain’s past as a trading nation has left the Cornish coast littered with the tragic remains of shipping accidents. Nowhere has a greater density of wrecks than around The Lizard Point itself, where you could dive a different wreck every day of your holiday. There are wrecks to suit all grades of diver, at virtually all stages of the tide.
