Sharks & Spider Crabs in Cornwall’s Kelp Forest (Spring Diving)

The kelp forests of Cornwall are teeming with incredible UK marine wildlife. Join me on an underwater adventure this spring as we dive into the clear Atlantic to witness the awakening of our local reefs. After a stormy British winter, the underwater scenery is bursting into life with vibrant colours and amazing wildlife.

In this film, I’m freediving and snorkelling at my local spot in Cornwall to document everything from spider crabs watching the sunrise to the impressive nursehound shark gliding around the kelp. In the video, I cover the behaviour of local marine life, and beautiful Cornish underwater seascapes, and the set up used to capture the footage.

Whether you’re into scuba diving, rock pooling, or just love British wildlife, there is so much to see beneath the surface in Cornwall.
