Water ranges 8-14°C, warmest July, August, September.
Diving the unnamed wrecks of Scapa Flow is always a bit of an archaeological dig, and Canmore 102904 is no exception. We love these sites because they offer a true sense of discovery, especially when the visibility kicks in and the wreck starts to reveal its secrets. You’ll drop down onto scattered plates and twisted metal, a genuine debris field that speaks to the raw power of its sinking. Look closely amongst the wreckage; we've often found ourselves eye-to-eye with inquisitive conger eels peeking out from the darker recesses, their thick bodies disappearing into the gloom. For those who enjoy piecing together a story from the seabed, this wreck is a fantastic challenge. It might not be a pristine, upright vessel, but it’s a tangible piece of history, colonised by an impressive array of anemones and dead man’s fingers that cling to every surface. We’d suggest focusing on your buoyancy here, taking your time to sift through the fragments and imagine what once was. It’s a dive for the more experienced wreck enthusiast, someone who appreciates the quiet dignity of a forgotten piece of naval history.
