Wreck of Unnamed Shipwreck - Canmore 102240

Scapa Flow holds more secrets than just the grand German Fleet, and this unnamed wreck, Canmore 102240, is one we particularly enjoy. It’s an honest, working wreck, not a battleship, which gives it a different character entirely. We’ve always been drawn to how the metalwork feels under your glove as you trace the hull, imagining the crew going about their daily tasks. You’ll find it quite broken up in parts, but that means more opportunities to peer into compartments and see the internal structure. Look closely for the squat lobsters tucked into every nook and cranny, and we’ve often seen inquisitive conger eels peeking out from beneath plates. We think this site is perfect for divers who appreciate the history and the slow colonisation of steel by marine life, rather than just the sheer scale of the larger cruisers. Visibility can be variable, but even on a greener day, the wreck’s presence is undeniable. Our favourite time to dive it is on a slack tide, giving you ample opportunity to properly explore its remains.
