    We’ve spent a fair few days poking around the Scottish East Coast, and while many wrecks here are just scattered debris, the Unnamed Shipwreck, Canmore 101818, stands out. It's a proper wreck dive, not just a historical footnote. We love how the hull is still largely intact, giving you genuine structure to navigate through, rather than just rubble. Dropping down, the first thing you notice is the way the light filters through the kelp forest that has grown over parts of the deck, creating an almost eerie, green glow. We’ve spotted conger eels tucked deep inside the more sheltered compartments, their heads peeking out from the gloom. If you take your time and look closely, you’ll find nudibranchs clinging to the metal, tiny bursts of colour against the rusted steel. This dive suits those who appreciate the quiet history of a site and the way nature reclaims man-made objects. Visibility can be hit or miss, typical for these waters, so we always suggest picking a day with settled weather, preferably after a few days without strong easterlies. It makes a world of difference for enjoying the details inside the wreck.

    Safety Notes

    Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
