Wreck of Unnamed Shipwreck - Canmore 96667 - Scottish East Coast & Borders

Diving an unnamed wreck always carries a certain mystique, doesn't it? This particular site off the Scottish East Coast, logged as Canmore 96667, is for those who love their history as much as their diving. We’ve found it’s usually a deeper dive, so bring your advanced cert and good gas planning. Expect the water to be cold, even in summer; a drysuit is non-negotiable here. The wreck itself is well broken up, scattered across the seabed, which means you’re not getting a single intact silhouette. Instead, it's a field of metal, plates, and ribs, with bits rising like abstract sculptures from the sand. Our favourite part is navigating through the debris, picking out individual components that hint at the vessel's original form. You’ll find squat lobsters tucked into every crevice and the occasional wolfish peering out from under a particularly large section of plating. It’s a quiet, contemplative dive, usually with decent visibility if you hit it on a slack tide, letting you really take your time piecing together the story of this lost ship.
