Delphy Pool
If you’re looking for something different to do during your stay at Helsbury, make sure to add Delphy Pool dive centre to your itinerary. Tucked away at St Breward in a serene former granite quarry, this inland dive site offers a thrilling and scenic escape for adventure-minded tourists.
At its heart is a tranquil, spring-fed pool that plunges to 37 m deep—perfect for freediving, open-water swimming, or scuba, even when the sea gets rough. Divers will appreciate the dedicated entry steps, freediver-friendly lines, and a raised platform for deeper descents. It’s a safe, controlled setting for both training and recreational dives.
On site courses
Beyond just dips and dives, Delphy Pool offers more to whet your appetite for sea-born adventure. Try one of their immersive courses: beginners love the 2‑day AIDA Freediving introduction, while seasoned explorers can master underwater cuisine in spearfishing and foraging workshops along Cornwall’s wild coast.
After your aquatic feats, unwind in true style at their on-site wild spa. Think wood-fired hot tub, sauna sessions, and piping-hot drinks served lakeside—a perfect contrast to the chill of cold-water swimming. Customer reviews rave about the warm, peaceful atmosphere.
Facilities strike a friendly, rustic vibe—think gravel parking, a kit-bench area, two cozy showers, cabins to change, a tucked-away tuck shop for snacks, and essential first-aid provisions including O₂ and trained staff on site.
Whether you’re after an exhilarating dive, mastering freediving, or simply seeking a unique Cornwall experience, Delphy Pool delivers. So pack your wetsuit—or borrow one onsite—make a booking, and get ready to discover Cornwall’s calmest and deepest dip!
