MOIDART

The Moidart wreck always feels like a proper dive into history. We love it because it’s a bit of a time capsule, sitting upright at 33 metres. Dropping down onto her, you can almost feel the chill of the North Sea in 1918. Her bow points east, stern west, and the whole structure is remarkably intact considering she was torpedoed. You can still make out the cargo holds, now home to some seriously chunky conger eels that peer out from the gloom. The sheer scale of the wreck means you’re never short of something to investigate. We often spend our time exploring the deeper sections around the stern, where you’ll find the propeller shaft and rudder. Look for the huge schools of bib and pollack darting through the superstructure, and if you’re lucky, a curious grey seal might just pop by for a look. It’s a dive that rewards careful exploration rather than a quick swim-through, perfect for those who appreciate wrecks with a real story to tell and don't mind the deeper depths.
