EQUINOX - Scottish West Coast

The Equinox, a 9.8m fishing vessel, capsized and sank back in '96, leaving her sitting upright at 19 metres. While not a massive wreck, she’s surprisingly intact and offers a poignant dive. Her wheelhouse is still present, and we've spotted lobsters tucked into the debris and small schooling fish zipping around her superstructure. It’s a good spot for divers comfortable with colder water and limited visibility, offering a glimpse into the working history of the Scottish coast. Just be aware of the "dangerous wreck" classification, meaning she’s largely untouched since the sinking.
