UK diving
has many highlights, here are just a few:
Diving along the UK coast you will encounter lots of crustaceans!
Diving in Cornwall UK: To see basking sharks
in Cornwall May and June are the best time. The region has a
history full of legends and illicit shipwrecking. It is, one
of the UKs most popular tourist areas, offering a slower pace
of life with a mild climate and miles of unspoilt coastline
and secluded beaches. The Cornish peninsula juts out into the
Atlantic and provides a marked contrast between the calm inlets
and the open ocean on the north coast.
Lands End is well known for its ship wrecks
found along the entire length of the coast, from early sailing
ships to modern day trawlers. Many ship wrecks are untouched
and undiscovered.
It is also possible
to dive and absorb diving courses in the fresh water inland.
In the
North you can encounter seals and play with some of
them underwater. There are plenty of small starfish and some
large wrasses and codlings, shrimps, young lobsters and octopus.
I just wrote a few highlights but you can find more in the regional
pages or in the dive center and liveaboard websites.
