    The MV Trevorian, sitting at 57 metres, is one of those wrecks that really sticks with you. We love a deep wreck, especially one with a story, and this one certainly delivers. Sunk after a collision in 1943, she’s a stark reminder of wartime sailing off the Scottish coast. Dropping down, the first thing you notice is the sheer size of her, spread across the seabed. Visibility can be hit or miss here, so pick your day carefully, but when it’s good, the detail on the wreck is incredible. We’ve spent hours exploring the holds, seeing the ghostly remains of whatever she was carrying, and watching the resident conger eels poke their heads out from every crevice. Our favourite spot is usually around the bow, where the damage from the collision is still evident, a real sense of the event frozen in time. This is definitely one for experienced divers comfortable with deeper profiles and the often-chilly North Sea conditions. If you’re into maritime history and don’t mind a bit of a chill, the Trevorian is a must.
