LINGBANK

Lingbank isn't your average trawler wreck. We think she's special because of the way she’s come to rest, sitting upright and surprisingly intact at 30 metres. Dropping down, you’ll first make out the dark silhouette, then the detail emerges – the deck winches, the sturdy hull, and that prominent boiler, still defiant after nearly a century on the seabed. It’s a proper dive into history. The real joy here is exploring the superstructure. We’ve had some fantastic dives nosing around the holds, imagining the fishing gear that once filled them. Conger eels are almost guaranteed, peering out from cracks, and the sheer number of squat lobsters clinging to the metalwork never fails to impress. You'll often find a decent sized wrasse or two hanging about, too. Visibility can be a bit variable, so we always check the tides – slack water is definitely best for a relaxed potter. If you appreciate a wreck with real character and enough nooks to keep you busy, Lingbank is a solid choice.
