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 96685 offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest wreck diving.
Diving the Unnamed Shipwreck off the Scottish East Coast is less about specific marine life sightings and more about the sheer history you can feel down there. We love this site for its atmospheric pull, a genuine dive into the past. While the data calls it "unnamed," local divers often refer to it by its Canmore ID, 96685, giving it a ghost-like presence. Dropping down, the visibility can be a mixed bag, but on a good day, the wreck reveals itself slowly from the gloom, a silhouette against the greener light. You’ll find sections of hull and machinery, now heavily draped in dead man’s fingers and anemones. It’s a wreck for exploration, peering into shadowed crevices where crabs scuttle and small fish dart. We’d suggest a strong torch, not just for looking into the nooks, but also to bring out the subtle colours of the encrusting life. This isn't a dive for coral fanatics, but if you appreciate the cold water marine ecosystem claiming back human endeavour, it’s a truly rewarding experience. Best suited for experienced wreck divers comfortable with colder temperatures and potentially limited visibility.
