Wreck of Sarah Alice

The Wreck of the *Sarah Alice* might not grab headlines like the big German battleships in Scapa Flow, but we love this little steam trawler. She’s a proper dive for those who appreciate the smaller, more intimate wrecks. Descending onto her, you’re not met with grand scale, but with incredible detail: the boiler, still largely intact, stands proud, and the engine room offers some neat swim-throughs if you're comfortable with overhead environments. The *Sarah Alice* is a wreck that feels *lived in* by the sea; her metalwork is draped in dead man's fingers and anemones, and we often spot wolf fish peeking from crevices, alongside plump conger eels coiled in the deeper sections. It’s a dive that rewards slow exploration, peering into every nook for scuttling crabs or a shy octopus. We’d suggest tackling her on a slack tide, as the currents here can pick up, making for a much more relaxed and enjoyable poke around.
