GREENOCK

Greenock isn’t a warm water dive. Let’s get that out of the way. But we’d still pull on the drysuit and brave the chill for this dredger. She went down in 1902, and while she’s considered a dangerous wreck, careful exploration is absolutely worth it. The hull is still pretty intact, sitting upright at 27 metres. We love the way the light filters through the Clyde’s water, giving the whole site a moody, historic feel. It's not about big pelagics here; it's the smaller details that grab you. Look for the nudibranchs crawling over the metalwork, their colours surprisingly vivid against the rust. Ling often shelter in the deeper nooks, and we’ve seen crabs scuttling across the deck plates. It’s a dive for those who appreciate history and the quiet beauty of a wreck slowly reclaimed by the sea. Give it a couple of dives; the first is always about getting your bearings, the second for finding those hidden corners.
