KONSHAUG (POSSIBLY)

The Konshaug wreck, sitting deep at 52m, is a serious dive, not one for the inexperienced. We really love the atmosphere here, the way the history settles around you as you descend. She was part of convoy WP.183, torpedoed by German E-boats in 1942, and you can still sense that dramatic past. What you'll find is a steamship that's been on the seabed long enough to become a proper home for sea life. Expect to navigate through the remains of her superstructure, perhaps spotting a conger eel peeking from a dark corner or a shiver of dogfish resting on the sand nearby. Our favourite part is exploring the holds, imagining the cargo she once carried. The light filters down, creating an eerie, almost reverent feel. This is a dive for technical divers who appreciate a wreck with a story, and the marine life that has truly made it their own. Visibility can be a challenge, so pick your weather window carefully.
