What will you see at Porthkerris?
Porthkerris has one of the best shore dives in the UK.
The beach is very protected from all but Easterly winds, so generally in Summer time the ocean is flat calm.
The dive site ranges from shallows down to around 18m on a high tide, where we have a mooring for a deep line.
Around the rocks you will see lots of cracks and gullies, plenty of marine architecture and lots of life.
Getting below the kelp line you will see jewel anemones, crustaceans, sponges, cuckoo wrasse and in the Summer shoals of bait fish which can attract the occasional tuna or inquisitive seal!

We have two very well equipped hard boats for deeper dives, the ‘Celtic Kitten’ for local trips and the ‘Celtic Cat’ if we are out for a day.
These boats can take us to deep water or to a host of amazing dive sites, many around the Manacle Marine Conservation Zone, which is famous for its wreck dives and wonderful marine life.
