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 102147 offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest wreck diving.
The Unnamed Shipwreck, Canmore 102147, isn't one for the faint of heart, but it’s exactly why we love it. Finding this wreck requires some real navigation skill and local knowledge. You're diving history here, not just a pile of metal. The ship's structure, whatever it was, is now home to thick kelp forests that sway with the strong North Sea currents. We've seen some impressive lobsters tucked into the nooks, and crabs are everywhere, scuttling across plates that were once decks. Visibility can be a real game of chance – sometimes it's 20 metres, other days you’re practically diving by Braille. But when it's good, the light filtering through the kelp onto the shadowy outlines of the wreck creates a truly atmospheric dive. This isn't a beginner's site; the exposure to open sea and often brisk conditions mean you need to be comfortable in your kit. Our favourite dives here have always been on a slack tide, allowing more time to properly explore the scattered remains and appreciate the sense of solitude. It’s a site that rewards effort, offering a genuine sense of discovery.
