This unnamed wreck, Canmore 96732, off the Scottish East Coast is one of those dives that reminds you why we love temperate water. It’s not about blinding colours here, but character and history. We’ve found her to be a bit of a mystery, a skeleton lying on the seabed, slowly being reclaimed by the North Sea. When you drop down, the first thing you notice is the way the light filters through the often-murky green, creating this ethereal glow around the structure. Visibility can swing wildly, so pick your day. Slack water is absolutely essential, as the currents here can be a real workout. We’ve spent dives tracing her ribs, imagining the ship in her prime. What we’ve consistently found are these massive plumose anemones, like white flowers blooming from the metalwork, alongside feathery hydroids. Look closely and you’ll spot velvet swimming crabs scuttling over the plates and sometimes a curious conger eel peeking from a dark corner. This site is perfect for those who appreciate the quiet dignity of a historical wreck, where nature slowly reclaims its own.
