ALBIA - Scottish West Coast

The Albia is a decent dive, especially if you’re into older wrecks. Lying in just 10 metres, this steamship, built way back in 1890, gives you a good sense of its original scale. We found the two huge boilers and the triple expansion engine particularly striking, now covered in various anemones and the odd nudibranch. There’s a certain solemnity to seeing such a large vessel in these relatively shallow waters, making it a good pick for divers keen on maritime history who prefer less demanding conditions.
