ENDEAVOUR - Scottish West Coast
The Endeavour, a fishing vessel sunk at her mooring in 1986, sits upright at a modest 14 metres. She’s not massive, just 12.2 metres long, but that makes her approachable for most divers. We’ve found her to be a great introduction to wreck diving in the area, offering an easy exploration. You can peek into the wheelhouse, check out the stern, and often spot squat lobsters tucked into the nooks, along with the usual kelp and an occasional dogfish patrolling around. It’s a comfortable dive, usually with reasonable visibility, making it a good choice for a second dive or for those wanting a relaxed look at a piece of local history.
