Wreck of Glide

The **Wreck of Glide** offers a poignant dive into maritime history, lying within Scapa Flow's vast natural harbour. This is a cold water dive, so prepare for that chill, but the rewards are significant. The wreck itself is a captivating structure; we particularly love descending into the holds, where natural light filters through openings, illuminating the ghostly remains of what was once a working vessel. Visibility here can vary wildly, from a few metres to a decent 15, so check local reports. When it's clear, you can trace the ship's lines, imagining its final moments. Keep an eye out for the resident wrasse and squat lobsters that have made the decaying metal their home. We’ve had some fantastic encounters here with curious conger eels peeking from dark corners. It’s a dive that rewards slow exploration rather than a frantic dash, perfect for those who appreciate the quiet solemnity of a historical site now repurposed by nature.
