About Abelard
Abelard is a boat-accessed wreck off the Plymouth Breakwater with a shallow, compact profile and a short boiler penetration option for careful divers. The site is broken up but still easy to read underwater, and the sandy seabed plus sheltered setting make it a strong choice for a first wreck dive with sponges, crustaceans, cuttlefish, dogfish, wrasse, and pollack around the structure.
