Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - Wreck of Unnamed Shipwreck - Canmore 102079 offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest wreck diving.
The unnamed wreck, Canmore 102079, off the Scottish East Coast is one of those dives that sticks with you. It’s not about tropical colours here, but the stark, dramatic beauty of a cold-water wreck, where history feels palpable. We love how the metalwork has been sculpted by the sea, a dark silhouette against the often moody green water. You’ll spend your bottom time tracing the hull, poking into what were once holds, and imagining the ship’s final moments. This site is for divers who appreciate the atmospheric pull of a historical wreck, even if it demands a bit more from you. Visibility can vary wildly, so pick your day carefully; aim for slack tide on a rising barometer, and you might get 10 metres, enough to appreciate the scale. Our favourite moments are often spent just hovering, watching the shadows shift and the resident cod drift past, big and slow. Look closely and you'll spot plenty of nudibranchs, little pops of colour on the corroded steel. It’s a proper dive, challenging but immensely rewarding.
