Wreck of Unnamed Shipwreck - Canmore 102132 - Scottish East Coast & Borders

For us, the unnamed wreck at Canmore 102132 is all about the atmosphere. Dropping down onto a Scottish East Coast wreck, particularly one without a known story, always feels a bit like stepping into a cold case. The visibility here can be… *Scottish*, meaning it’s not always going to be a sunny 20 metres, but that just adds to the intrigue. We love how the kelp sways over the stern, creating shadowy tunnels, and the way the current often feels like the ship itself is still trying to move. It’s a robust wreck, well-broken but still offering plenty of structure to explore. Look for the massive plates of steel, encrusted with dead man’s fingers and sponges. Ling often hide out in the deeper sections, and you’ll usually find plenty of wrasse darting through the smaller holes. Our favourite thing to do is just take our time, imagining what cargo she carried, who sailed her. It’s perfect for divers who appreciate history and don't mind a bit of a chill; leave the macro lens at home and bring a good torch to really poke around.
