We can explore the miles of beautiful estuaries or kayak out around the most south westerly point of Great Britain discovering the abundance of wildlife – Dolphins, Porpoise, Basking Sharks, Choughs, Guillemots and much much more'

With its coastal waters warmed by the gulf stream, Cornwall is one of the hottest places on the UK mainland. Clear seas reveal an abundant marine life bordering on the tropical. Brightly coloured corals and sightings of rare species such as leatherback turtles grace sunken shipwrecks dating back to the 18th century.
Cornwall has always been famed as smugglers lair and a scavengers paradise with the most dangerous two reefs having claimed more than 200 shipwrecks between them. The Merchant Royal, boasting a haul of silver and gold coins valued at a record £253 million, was recently discovered in May 2007. Whether it is lost shipwrecks or hidden coves, Cornwall has something to offer scuba divers of all levels. As one of the most popular tourist destinations in the UK, you can be sure you will be well catered for at Cornwall's numerous dive centres.
