Cornwall is one of the finest diving areas in the UK. The famous coastline is washed by the warm, clear waters of the Atlantic Gulf Stream which bring excellent underwater visibility.

We will be staying in Falmouth in bed and breakfast accommodation at the Trevoil guest house in twin share accommodation.

Over 100 ships are known to have been wrecked here, including the "Mohegan" which some divers claim is haunted! Along with the obvious wreck diving, the Manacles offer superb scenic dives at a range of depths on rocky pinnacles such as Raglan Rock, Penwin and Vase Rock. The area is teeming with anemones, crustaceans and fish. this is also basking shark season so you never know we may be fortunate and see one

Another nearby dive site is the wreck of the cargo ship "Volnay" which sank, without loss of life, in mid December 1917. This steamer was arriving from Canada with supplies of ammunition for the Western Front - but also coffee, sugar, jam, butter and other luxuries that were scarce during the Great War.
In the days following the sinking, the locals were thrilled to see such quantities of these goodies washing ashore that the beach was covered to the point leaving no room to launch boats. They must have had a memorable Christmas that year!

Not included: dive equipment, £20 per day, suit hire £15 per day, nitrox £6 per fill
