Wreck of LCA 672

Forget your tropical colours; the North Sea has its own kind of beauty. The LCA 672, a landing craft, sits broken but defiant on the seabed, a stark reminder of history chilling out just off the Scottish coast. We love this wreck because it’s not about pristine coral, it’s about atmosphere and the sheer resilience of nature. You’ll drop down into that classic green-blue water, often with decent visibility, and the silhouette of the LCA 672 starts to form. It’s pretty broken up, but you can still make out the bow ramp and sections of the hull, now home to a surprising amount of life. We’re talking plump plumose anemones swaying in the gentle surge, their white tentacles like alien flowers, and velvet crabs scuttling over corroded metal. Keep an eye out for conger eels too, often tucked into the darker recesses. It’s a dive for those who appreciate history and the quiet drama of temperate waters, a tangible link to wartime stories. Our tip: pick a calm day with minimal swell for the best experience.
