Situated close to Mevagissey, Portmellon is a quiet tidal bay offering fun and easy beach diving for all levels. Portmellon is one of Scuba 2000’s most popular sites, with the left and right sides offering the most interesting dives. Access to the water is via a ramp opposite the car park.
There is plenty of marine life that thrives among the kelp and rocks, including an abundance of spider crabs, starfish, wrasse and even a resident seal!
