LIDINGO

Lidingo is one of those wrecks that just delivers. We’ve always been drawn to her sheer scale – 123 metres of history sitting upright on the seabed at 28m. Dropping down, the first thing you notice is the way the light filters through the superstructure, creating these shafts that illuminate the massive engine room. You can spend an entire dive just exploring the cargo holds, sometimes finding remnants of her wartime journey, though mostly it's just the bones of the ship now. We love how the resident cod and ling have made Lidingo their home, lurking in the shadows of the twisted metal. Keep an eye out for the odd crab scuttling across the deck plates. The visibility here can be hit-or-miss, so pick a calm day if you can, preferably outside the main winter storms. It’s a dive for experienced wreck enthusiasts, no doubt about it. The currents aren’t usually too fierce, but it’s a deep penetration dive for those who want to really explore the interior. Our favourite part? That bow section, looming out of the murk, still remarkably intact after all these years.
