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:

Dive boats are also available, notably in Newquay.

The months of July to October are by far the best months to go diving. Its possible to see sharks, whales and dolphins during these peak times. Despite this, a lot of surfing still takes place between October to June (low season) where the temperature can vary from to degrees.

Newquay is also highly popular with surfers in fact Newquay Fistral and Watergate Bay hold surfing championships each year, where surfers from all corners of the globe come to participate.

Its possible to hire out surfing equipment as required including boards and wetsuits. Novice surfers can head to Towan or Tolcarne as the beaches here are somewhat more sheltered and allow a safer place for amateurs and beginners to practice their surfing. Local surf schools provide tuition and its also possible to book surf holidays if you intend to spend a lot of time on the board.
