Shore dive of the Porthkerris reef

Well I’m just back from a great diving Hol down on the Lizard in Cornwall where I spent two fun filled days diving the reef at Porthkerris with my good friends from Wavecrest Scuba!

We were blessed with 2 days of perfect weather which is unusual for the UK lol
Over the weekend we manage 4 great shore dives and camped literately 100 meters from the dive entry point! There was simply loads to see on the reef and apart from the mild inconvenience of a plankton bloom lol the viz wasn’t to bad at about 6 meters!

Now for any one who’s dived Corrnwall or who is planing on doing so then this is one location that should be on everyone’s list of places to dive!

Porthkerris Divers has a web site and school! I’ll add the link so everyone can check it out!

I have put quite a few photo’s on the gallery and at the moment they are on the current page 1 lol check them out! There not the best but there ok LOL

Now Porthkerris isn’t the easiest of places to find lol its not on the map so listen carefully!

You travel towards Helston on the by-pass heading towards the Lizard. You will the pass the Helicopter base ‘Culdrose’ on both sides of the road .

After passing the base you will come to an island turn left here following the road to St Keverne, at the next Island turn right again towards St Keverne you will now travel for 5-10 minutes (speed depending) over ‘’Goonhilly’’ passed the telecommunications centre.

You then arrive at St Keverne, turn left into the square keeping the White Hart pub on your left then turn left out of St Keverne passed the fire station on your left.

Follow the road towards Porthallow, you will pass some gates on your right with stone eagles at their entrance shortly after this take the next right, (signposted) then next left to Porthkerris dive centre.

I highly recommend this site to all UK Divers! Well worth the trip!!
