SS Lamoricière

The SS Lamoricière isn't just a hunk of metal on the seabed, it’s a time capsule. We love how the story of its dramatic sinking in 1942 still feels palpable when you descend onto the wreck. You can trace the outlines of what was once a grand passenger liner, now heavily broken but still recognisable, especially the bow section which points defiantly towards the surface. As you navigate the twisted steel and collapsing decks, keep an eye out for enormous schools of hake that drift like silver clouds through the interior spaces, and we’ve often spotted loggerhead turtles making a leisurely patrol around the stern. For divers who appreciate history woven into their underwater experience, this site is a real privilege. Just be prepared for potential currents; sometimes they’re negligible, but a good push can make exploring the deeper sections a bit more challenging.
