Tide-timed wrecks, kelp-clad pinnacles, and wild Atlantic days around Lundy's grey seals
Pick an activity mode to compare signature sites, skill fit, and gear planning notes before you lock your trip.
Lundy delivers compact but varied cold-water diving from experienced North Devon charter boats. A day can pair a current-washed pinnacle such as Knoll Pins with a shallower wreck or seal bay, depending on tide and wind. The Lundy MPA describes strong tidal streams and generally discourages novice independent diving, while Easy Divers North Devon offers specially managed shallow seal trips for qualified Open Water divers who meet its readiness requirements. Expect kelp, jewel anemones, sea fans, crustaceans, nudibranchs, pollack, wrasse, wreck metal, and occasional seal curiosity rather than predictable staged wildlife contact.
A pair of dramatic pins with walls, ledges, jewel anemones, cup corals, dead man's fingers, sea fans, wrasse, and pollack.
A tideshaped route across reef, sand, mud, and kelp, typically beginning near 20 m and reaching about 25 m.
A northeastfacing bay that can shelter from westerly weather, with kelpcovered boulders, sand and mud, shallow reef, and grey seals resting nearby.
Lundy's most intact wreck is a coaster of roughly 50 m resting with the port bow around 18 m and deeper sections near 25 m.
The remains of an Italian cargo vessel lie broken across a slope, with the bow near 8 m and stern around 18 m.
