LYNG

The Lyng, a victim of the North Sea in December 1942, sits upright on the seabed at 40 metres. This isn't a wreck you’ll penetrate easily; she’s pretty collapsed, but the bow and stern sections offer some interesting features. We’ve found her to be a surprisingly good spot for photography, with plenty of light-absorbing nooks and crannies that attract conger eels and squat lobsters. The metalwork is completely encrusted with anemones and dead man's fingers, giving it a soft, colourful texture, especially with a good torch. It's a great deep dive for experienced cold-water divers looking for a slice of wartime history.
