FANCY NANCY

Fancy Nancy, now she’s a fun one. Not your typical Scapa Flow behemoth, but a small, feisty fishing vessel that went down in 1991. We love how accessible she is, sitting upright at 30 metres, mostly intact. The wheelhouse is a highlight; you can peer right inside, imagining her last moments before she began taking on water and sank under tow. It’s an intimate dive, a chance to really explore a modern wreck without getting overwhelmed. The prop is still there, often shrouded in anemones, and the hull is now home to plenty of wrasse and squat lobsters tucked into every crevice. Visibility here can be surprisingly good on a calm day, giving you a clear view of her lines. We’d suggest going slow, poking around her deck, and appreciating the scale of a working boat. It’s a proper Scapa dive, just a little cozier, perfect for those days you want something different from the cruisers.
