GLENEUSE

The Gleneuse, a wooden schooner sunk in 1918, is a lovely wreck if you're into history and atmosphere over big dramatic structure. She lies in a very accessible 12 metres, which means decent bottom time and often good light filtering down. We love her because she’s now less about the ship itself and more about the sea reclaiming her, transforming those old timbers into living habitat. You’ll find her broken up, but the scattered ribs and planks are wonderfully colonised. Look for conger eels tucked into hollows and the surprising bursts of colour from jewel anemones coating the wood. On a calm day, with a bit of sun, the green-brown light playing across the timbers gives a real sense of age. It's a forgiving dive, well-suited for divers who enjoy poking around and appreciating the smaller details. We’d suggest going at slack water, as currents here can be a bit frisky, making it harder to appreciate the subtle beauty of the site.
