Wreck of Unnamed Shipwreck - Canmore 102135 - Scottish East Coast & Borders

We’ve spent a fair bit of time exploring the Scottish East Coast, and while many wrecks here are just scattered debris, the ‘Unnamed Shipwreck – Canmore 102135’ stands out. It's a proper dive, a deep, dark plunge into history. We love that feeling of descending through the gloom, knowing you're about to hit something solid, something human-made in a wild environment. When you land on the wreck, it’s not some perfectly preserved ghost ship, but it’s far from just a pile of plates. You’ll find sections of hull, ribs reaching out like skeletal fingers, and machinery parts that give clues to its past life. Our favourite parts are often the small, sheltered nooks where anenomes bloom in shades of orange and pink, and little velvet crabs scuttle amongst the rust. We’ve spotted plenty of blennies peeking from holes, and ling often lurk in the deeper, darker sections. This is a dive for those who appreciate the quiet mystery of a forgotten vessel, who don't mind the chill, and who get a kick out of piecing together a story from the fragments below. It’s certainly not for beginners, and you'll want to be comfortable in low visibility and potentially strong currents. Bring a good torch, and take your time to explore the nooks and crannies.
