GAUL - Scottish West Coast

The Gaul, a trawler from 1905, sits in just 2 metres of water off the Scottish West Coast. It’s an interesting spot, particularly if you're looking for something shallow and relaxed. She’s relatively intact, measuring just under 40 metres long, with her mast still showing above the surface. We've found the wreck provides a decent home for crabs and various small fish, often tucked into the nooks and crannies of the decking. It’s a good one for newer divers, or those who appreciate a historical wreck without the depth. Just be mindful of local boat traffic in the area.
