There's a gritty charm to diving the Scottish East Coast, and the Unnamed Shipwreck, Canmore 102137, captures it perfectly. We love these less-documented sites; they demand a bit more exploration and reward you with that real sense of discovery. Dropping onto her, you’ll find a solid wreck, well-broken but still recognisable in parts, holding tight to the seabed. It’s not about huge pelagics here, but the macro life is fascinating: nudibranchs in colours you wouldn't expect in these northern waters, and blennies peeking from every crevice. Our favourite approach is a slow circuit, taking in the structure, then really zooming in on the smaller inhabitants. This is a dive for those who appreciate history and the slow reclamation of steel by the ocean, rather than a pristine coral garden. Visibility can be a mixed bag, so pick your day, ideally on a slack tide, for the best chance to really soak in the atmosphere.
