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 196024 offers some of Scapa Flow, Orkney's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 8-14°C, warmest July, August, September.
Even among Scapa’s legendary fleet, this unnamed wreck has a quiet charm. We’re talking about a smaller, older vessel, quite broken up now, but that’s part of its appeal. You’ll find sections of hull plating draped in dead man’s fingers, and the framework of the ship provides plenty of nooks and crannies for wrasse and squat lobsters. It’s a gentle dive, good for poking around without battling currents, and ideal if you appreciate the subtler beauty of a historical wreck that's fully surrendered to the sea.
