Porthkerris Easter Expedition
Four Days of Atlantic Diving Adventure in Cornwall
April 2025
Our Easter dive weekend delivered everything we love about UK diving — vibrant marine life, dramatic underwater landscapes, and unbeatable team spirit.
We kicked things off with two fantastic days diving from Mullion Harbour, exploring a mix of scenic boat and shore sites. The Atlantic served up clear visibility and colourful reefs teeming with life — the perfect start to the trip.
Midway through the weekend, we shifted base to Porthkerris Bay, a true gem of UK diving. Here, we made the most of easy shore access for relaxed beach dives, alongside RHIB trips to offshore wrecks and deeper reefs. The mix of dive profiles made it ideal for both training and more experienced dives.
Despite some challenging weather — with strong winds and lively tides testing our entry skills — the group handled it all with positivity and good planning. Thanks to solid teamwork, we enjoyed safe, adventurous, and sociable diving throughout.
From kelp forests to historic wrecks, the expedition delivered a rich variety of underwater experiences — and plenty of reasons to come back for more. Once again, Porthkerris proved why it’s a firm favourite in the UK diving calendar.
Why Dive Porthkerris & Mullion?
- Diverse Dive Sites – Wrecks, reefs, and scenic shore dives all within easy reach
- Clear Atlantic Waters – Excellent visibility and a wide range of marine life
- Perfect for All Levels – Great mix of training opportunities and advanced exploration
- Reliable Shore Diving – Access straight from the beach at Porthkerris
- Breathtaking Coastal Scenery – Above and below the waterline
- Top UK Dive Destination – Loved by divers for its variety, accessibility, and adventure
