Divable in anything from a moderate Westerly through northerly to a north easterly.. To find Silver Steps, follow the signposts to Pendennis point. Continue past the car park on the point and park in the large lay-by on your left (can be busy in summer). Entrance is via an easy path to the left of the car park, which leads to steps onto a small rocky beach. This is a very easy dive often used for training. There is a good variety of marine life, with all the local shallow water species. It is a good spot for cuttlefish and Sea horses were reported there in the summer of 2001. Another attraction is the broken remains of several first world war German U-boats. Read John Liddiards article
