ELLIDA

The Ellida is a wonderfully broken-up wreck, scattered across the seabed at a forgiving 15 metres. We love how the wreck isn't intact; it’s more a series of fascinating archaeological fragments, inviting you to piece together its story in your mind. You’ll spend your dive exploring sections of hull, ribs, and scattered timbers, all colonised by the usual suspects of the Clyde: dead man's fingers, colourful anemones, and the occasional inquisitive wrasse. It’s a site that rewards a slow pace and a keen eye, perfect for anyone who enjoys a bit of history with their dive, or those newer to wreck diving thanks to the shallow depth and usually calm conditions. We've often found ourselves tracing the outline of what must have been the bow, imagining the fog that brought her down back in 1890. It's not a grand wreck, but it's genuinely atmospheric.
