	Top ten scenic and life dives: Longships, Cornwall (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)

		Here the visibility is usually good, the marine life is prolific, and the Atlantic swell provides a challenging thrill as divers surge up and down the canyons.
		Seals are usually hauled out on the rocks and if you are lucky they will come and play underwater.
