HMS Scylla is a former Royal Navy warship that was intentionally sunk in 2004 to create an artificial reef. It lies off the coast of Cornwall, providing a unique dive experience with marine life thriving around the wreck.

Divers can explore the wreck, which is approximately 113 meters long, and observe various marine species that have made the site their home. The wreck is relatively intact and offers opportunities for penetration dives for experienced divers.
