ELMDALE

The Elmdale is a proper chunk of history sitting on the seabed. She was torpedoed in 1917, and what remains is a fantastic dive for those who love poking around shipwrecks. We find the bow and stern particularly interesting, with a substantial portion of the hull still intact, unlike some of the more scattered sites in the area. You'll spend your time here exploring twisted metal and vast cargo holds, feeling the chill of the Atlantic even on a good day. It's a proper British wreck dive, meaning you'll want decent thermal protection. Our favourite part has to be the way the light filters down into the broken sections of the deck, illuminating schools of pollock darting through the wreckage. It's a site that rewards multiple visits, revealing new details each time the visibility allows. We'd suggest checking the tides carefully, as currents can pick up here.
