This
area of reef covering approximately one square mile has caused more loss
of shipping than any other comparable reef on the entire south coast of
Britain. Some 110 ships and over one thousand lives have been lost in
this small area.
Located a distance of less than one mile from the launch site of Porthoustock beach, the Manacles, one of the best dive sites on the south coast of Cornwall, offers some of the most exciting diving in the country.
