Diving And Surfing In Cornwall – Britain’s Surfing Capital Exposed
Cornwall is fast being recognised as one of the premier diving & surfing locations within the UK. This is due to the multiple of good beach resorts such as Newquay, Bude and Perranporth to name a few. Cornwall also has a huge stretch of coastline, more so than along any other part of England. This means that Cornwall as a diving location has naturally evolved, and now offers excellent prospects for those wanting to surf as well as dive.
Diving facilities within Cornwall are first class. There are several B.S.A.C clubs littered all around Cornwall. The following locations all have major dive operators present:
St Ives
Hayle
Looe
Falmouth
Penzance
St Keverne
Dive boats are also available, notably in Newquay.
