Cold-water wrecks, jewel-anemone walls and grey seals beyond Land's End
Key fee: Islandwide tourism levy
None identified in reviewed official sources
Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
No islandwide tourism levy or general marine-park dive tag was identified in the reviewed official visitor and conservation sources. Protected wreck licensing is the important exception: HMS Colossus may be visited only under the relevant licence. Guided wildlife trips, gardens and transport are ordinary paid services rather than conservation permits, and prices should be rechecked when booking.
