Lake Edon is a deep Newquay wreck with rich fish life and serious planning.
Lake Edon is a Newquay wreck dive with a World War I cargo-ship story, broken structure, and a deep profile that rewards careful planning. It is more about solid wreck shape, fish life, and patient route choice than a quick sightseeing stop. Treat it as a proper boat day where calm weather and a tidy tide window make the dive feel much cleaner.
