Wreck of Unnamed Shipwreck - Canmore 102788 - Scottish East Coast & Borders

Ah, the unnamed Canmore 102788 wreck off the Scottish East Coast. This isn't one for casual divers, we'll be frank. It’s a proper expedition, often requiring calm weather and a good skipper who knows the local currents – which can be feisty. But if you’re into proper exploration, the kind where you’re part detective, part diver, then this is our pick. Dropping down, the visibility is often a surprise, sometimes pushing 10-15 metres, but be prepared for it to drop. The wreck itself is quite broken, scattered across the seabed, giving it a ghost-like quality. We love piecing together the story from the debris; a boiler here, some plating there, and sections that hint at its original form. Ling, conger eels, and some impressive lobsters have made homes in the deeper crevices. It's not about colourful corals here, it’s about the silent history and the sheer satisfaction of finding something few others bother to see. Best attempted during slack water around neap tides.
