The Unnamed Shipwreck, Canmore 96701, is a fascinating dive for those who appreciate history and a bit of a challenge. Dropping onto the deck, you’ll find the wreck well-preserved, despite the North Sea’s best efforts. We love picking out the details – the anchor chain still draped, the skeletal remains of the superstructure, all now home to an impressive collection of local critters. It’s not a vibrant coral garden, obviously, but the anemones and dead man’s fingers add splashes of colour, and we’ve often spotted lobsters tucked into crevices. This site suits experienced divers comfortable with colder water and potentially limited visibility, which can drop quickly here. Our top tip: aim for slack water on a calm day; it makes all the difference when you’re trying to navigate the deeper sections and really soak in the atmosphere of this forgotten vessel.
