TRANSCEND

TRANSCEND sits in a deep corner of Scapa, a fishing vessel with a surprisingly upright stance. We love this wreck for its accessibility, a proper dive but without the deeper technical demands of some of the German fleet. You drop onto the wheelhouse, and from there, it's a straightforward explore down the decks. We’ve always found the hold particularly atmospheric, a dark cavern that your torch beam just about reaches across, often with a curious ling eyeing you from the gloom. This isn't a wreck teeming with history like the battleships, but it has a real character. The propeller is still there, a solid bronze contrast against the steel, and the deck machinery makes for some interesting photography. We'd suggest checking your dive computer often here; the depth can sneak up on you as you explore the bow and stern. It’s a great dive for those comfortable with deeper wrecks, offering a different flavour to the military history Scapa Flow is famous for.
