CONDUAN

Conduan isn't a deep dive, not by any stretch. You're barely getting your knees wet, with a maximum depth of two metres, but what a two metres it is. This is the wreck of a fishing vessel that ran aground in dense fog, and the remains are strewn across the shallows, making for a surprisingly engaging snorkel or a very, very shallow dive. We love it for its sheer accessibility and the way the sea has already started to reclaim it. You'll fin through the kelp, watching light shafts dance on the scattered metalwork. Pieces of the hull, twisted and barnacle-encrusted, are home to crabs scuttling amongst the rust. Look for the small blennies tucked into crevices and the occasional flatfish camouflaged against the sand beside the wreckage. It's a fantastic spot for photographers looking for interesting textures and light without the need for complex gear, and our pick for a leisurely explore when the sea is calm. Visibility can drop if there's any swell, so pick a still day.
