Coasteering in Cornwall and Devon is brilliant there are so many places to go you are spoilt for choice.
This page is to show you not only our locations that we use to take customers coasteering but also for experienced Coasteerers to use as a guide for spots to go and find for yourselves. Given that people are going to go coasteering unsupervised by the experts at Vertical Descents whether we like it or not we figure we may as well give you some knowledge on the more popular sites so you can go and have fun safely and with respect to the environment, land owners and other public users.
If you are going to go Coasteering we advise that you go with a reputable company such as ourselves Vertical Descents. We also insist that you wear appropriate safety equipment such as a Full Wetsuit, Trainers, Buoyancy Aid, and a Helmet. You should always go with at least one other person and tell somebody your route and your estimated time back. You should always carry a whistle and a knife for emergency use, you should have a torch if your going to be going into caves and an emergency escape plan if something happens to you when you.
Knowledge is power when Coasteering and it is really important that you know where you are and what you are doing. Never do something your not sure about and always go with someone who knows the area. You need to know the weather conditions but more importantly the sea state and the swell forecast and always go Coasteering at high tide. Never jump into the ocean if you don’t know how deep the water is.
This page is a working progress and we are cureently working out the best format for it so that you can see where we are going where we want to meet you and where you could possibly go yourselves.
