Ah, the Canmore 102077 wreck off the Scottish East Coast. This isn't your postcard-perfect Caribbean dive, and that’s precisely why we love it. What we know for sure is that this is a proper shipwreck, and like many of the North Sea's treasures, its exact identity is a bit of a mystery, which only adds to the allure. We've spent a few dives poking around, and what you’re getting here is a raw, unvarnished piece of history. The wreck itself is well-broken, spread across the seabed, but in that chaos, you find beauty. Think twisted metal plates, sections of hull, and machinery parts now completely encrusted. We’ve found wolfish tucked into crevices, their grumpy faces peering out, and often see ling weaving through the larger debris. The currents here can be a bit frisky, so it's one for the experienced diver who enjoys a proper North Sea challenge. If you’re into exploration, into feeling that connection with history, and don't mind a bit of a chill, this site delivers. It’s less about swimming through pristine corridors and more about uncovering secrets piece by piece, an archaeological treasure hunt with kelp and cod. Bring a good torch and a keen eye.
