BOBBYB

The *Bobby B* is just pure fun, a small fishing vessel sitting upright and almost completely intact in about 17 metres of water. We love it because it’s so accessible; no tricky currents, no huge depths, just a really pleasant dive on a proper wreck. You can swim right through the wheelhouse, poke your head into the engine room, and even peer down into the holds where the fishing gear is still tangled. It’s got a lovely, slightly eerie vibe, especially when the light filters down through the superstructure. The deck is covered in colourful jewel anemones and dead man’s fingers, and you’ll usually find conger eels tucked into every dark crevice. We’ve seen huge schools of pollock circling above, and often a few inquisitive dogfish rummaging in the sand around the bow. It’s a brilliant site for newer wreck divers or anyone who just fancies a relaxed potter around a charming bit of history. Try to hit it on a slack tide for the best visibility, which can vary quite a bit in this part of the world, but even in murkier conditions, the close-knit structure of the *Bobby B* still makes for an engaging dive.
