PRIMO ?

The Primo, what a wreck. This old steamship, sunk back in 1918, isn't one of those pristine, upright behemoths. Instead, you'll find her well-broken, spread out across the seabed at 26 metres. We love how the sheer force of the years has sculpted her, transforming her hull plates into twisted, metal abstract art. It’s a proper rummage, a fascinating hunt for recognisable features amongst the debris. We’d suggest heading out on a neap tide for the best conditions, as currents can pick up. Look for the triple expansion engine, it’s often the most intact section and a great focal point. The hold sections are largely collapsed but still offer some overhead exploration for suitably experienced divers. You’ll spend your time here exploring the scattered pieces, spotting conger eels lurking in shadowed corners and colourful jewel anemones clinging to every surface. This is a dive for those who appreciate history and enjoy piecing together a story from the scattered fragments beneath the waves.
