Cornwall holiday cottages offer access to some of the finest scuba diving sites in the world, experts have advised.
While most visitors to the South Coast stick to walking or surfing its stunning coastline or surfing its famous beaches, the British Sub-Aqua Club (BASC) has noted that the wonders under British seas are one of the country”s "best-kept secrets".
Furthermore, some of the UK”s best dive sites are to be found just a stone”s throw from Cornwall holiday cottages, with the county having been named as one of the top-ten destinations among the club”s members in a recent poll.
"Because of our maritime history in certain areas of our coastline we”ve got more wrecks per square mile than anywhere else in the world," explained BASC membership and marketing manager Alison Dando.
She added that the country is home to "diverse marine life" as well as "stunning" cliffs and cold water reefs.
This holiday advice comes as global interest in scuba diving continues to rise, with PADI having recently reported a 0.4 per cent rise in its worldwide certificates.
