WINGA

The Winga, a steamship sunk in 1940, lies upright at 35 metres, a proper old girl with a story. She’s remarkably intact for her age and location, a real treat to explore. We love finning over the deck, spotting conger eels lurking in the deeper holds, and often find inquisitive wolf fish peeking out from beneath plates of steel. The triple-expansion engine is still prominent, a testament to her past, and provides fantastic opportunities for budding wreck photographers. There’s usually a decent number of crabs and lobsters scuttling around, making this a solid pick for divers keen on history and North Sea residents. Just remember your drysuit; it’s Scotland after all.
