COPIA - Scottish West Coast

The Copia sits upright on a silty seabed in the Firth of Clyde, a 13.1m fishing vessel that went down in 1993. It’s a good little dive if you’re into smaller wrecks, providing a solid penetration challenge for those with the right training and gear. We’ve found plenty of squat lobsters tucked into every crevice, and the odd conger eel peeking out from darker spots. It’s certainly a cooler dive, but the sense of history is tangible, making it a decent choice for experienced divers looking for something a bit different on the Scottish West Coast.
