INVERDARGLE (STERN SECTION) (PROBABLY)

The *Inverdargle* stern section, or what we’re pretty sure is the *Inverdargle*, is a phenomenal dive. Dropping onto it at 27m, you’re immediately struck by the sheer scale. It’s huge. Not just a pile of plates, but a proper, recognisable section of a ship with massive beams and twisted metal offering incredible swim-throughs. We love weaving our way through the collapsed superstructure, imagining the engine room that once stood here. Visibility can be a bit variable, as it often is in this part of the world, but when it’s good, you can see the distinct outlines of the propeller shaft tunnels, often draped in plumose anemones. Conger eels are a given here, tucked into every dark crevice, and the whole wreck hums with the movement of pollack and bib. It’s a dive for those who appreciate the history and the way the sea reclaims these industrial giants, transforming them into thriving artificial reefs. Our tip: go on a neap tide for the best chance of clear water and less current.
