FAQ
How many wrecks are diveable in the Sound of Mull?
The Sound of Mull contains at least 20 documented shipwrecks, of which around 8-10 are regularly dived. The most popular include the SS Hispania, a 140-metre Swedish cargo ship sunk in 1954, the Thesis, a small coaster sitting upright at 25 metres, and the Shuna, accessible to less experienced divers in shallower water. The variety of wrecks suits divers of different experience levels.
What is the best wreck to dive in the Sound of Mull?
The SS Hispania is generally considered the star wreck of the Sound of Mull. At 140 metres long and sitting between 12 and 30 metres depth, she is large enough to require multiple dives to explore fully. The wreck is heavily colonised by plumose anemones, dead man's fingers, and jewel anemones, making it as much a marine life dive as a wreck dive. The bow section is particularly photogenic.
Is the Sound of Mull suitable for less experienced divers?
Yes, the Sound of Mull offers wreck sites across a range of depths and conditions. The Shuna wreck sits in relatively shallow water and is suitable for recently certified divers with some cold-water experience. The channel itself is sheltered from Atlantic swells by Mull island, creating calmer conditions than the open west coast. A drysuit is essential regardless of experience level.
How do I get to Lundy Island for diving?
Most divers visit Lundy by chartering a dive boat from Ilfracombe or Bideford on the North Devon coast. The crossing takes approximately 2 hours depending on conditions. Hard boat charter is the standard approach, with several operators running regular trips during the diving season. The island also has a passenger ferry service from Ilfracombe and Bideford, but bringing dive equipment on the ferry is impractical for most. Some dive clubs organize camping trips on the island, though logistical planning is required.
What are the jewel anemones at Lundy?
Jewel anemones (Corynactis viridis) are small, brightly colored anemones that grow in dense colonies on rocky surfaces. They come in an extraordinary range of colors including vivid green, pink, orange, red, and purple, often with contrasting-colored tentacle tips. At Lundy, they carpet walls, overhangs, and crevices in such density that the effect resembles a coral reef made of gemstones. The protected waters of the Marine Conservation Zone have allowed these colonies to flourish to a degree rarely seen elsewhere in British waters.
