Dive South Devon from Falcon II, of Dartmouth

This area is relatively little dived compared with the more well-known parts of the Devon coastline - why not try somewhere different for a change. Visibility can be as good here as anywhere along the South Devon coast and there is a huge amount to explore wrecks and reefs without the need to share them with other groups.

Technical Diving

  • For divers with an interest in technical / mixed gas / extended range there is the opportunity to extend to explore deeper wrecks such as the Aldershot, Medina, Murree, etc and the opportunity to investigate new prospects.

The diving area includes:

  • the southern part of Lyme bay with its numerous wrecks such as the Bretagne, Glocliffe, Sevilla and Lord Stewart.

  • Start Bay with its colourful reefs such as the Eastern Blackstone, Bull Rock, and Mewstone, with their abundant life, and wrecks of the Benton Castle, Greatham, Elsa and the Dutch Tug.

  • Start Point, Lannacombe Bay, Prawle Point and west to Bolt Tail with exciting drift and reef dives, and the wrecks of the Newholm, Riversdale, Skaala, Maine and Wreathier.

  • Tony knows of many other sites to suit all experience levels, aspirations and interests, and tide states.

  • There was interesting coverage of the potential of this area in Diver Magazine's article on Dartmouth diving, which featured Tony Hoile and Falcon, and within the extensive coverage of wrecks and reefs in the area on the Totnes BSAC website.
