Why dive here
With 140+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue whales, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales and ocean sunfish (mola mola) - Wreck of Unnamed Shipwreck - Canmore 101714 offers some of Scapa Flow, Orkney's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 8-14°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Unnamed Shipwreck, Canmore 101714, is one of those Scapa Flow wrecks that truly gets under your skin. We love it because it’s not one of the massive cruisers, but a more intimate dive. Dropping down, the visibility is often a grey-green, the light filtering dimly, but then the hull emerges, draped in dead man’s fingers and anemones. You’ll find yourself finning through schools of saithe, so thick they almost obscure the structure, and conger eels peer from every dark recess. Our favourite part is exploring the holds – they’re fairly open, making for easy, atmospheric penetration, and the sense of history is palpable. It’s a dive that suits those who appreciate the quiet dignity of a wreck taken by the sea, rather than just its sheer size. Keep an eye on the current; it can pick up, so timing your dive for slack water is always a good move.
