KAY D - Scottish West Coast

The KAY D, a fishing vessel that went down in 1982, rests upright at 25 metres on the Scottish West Coast. It’s a proper dive for those who appreciate a solid wreck. The wheelhouse is still largely intact, and you can poke around the bow and stern sections, imagining the rough weather that sent her down. We usually find plenty of wrasse darting around the superstructure, and ling often lurk in the shadowed corners. It’s a good choice for experienced divers comfortable with colder water and limited visibility, offering a tangible piece of local maritime history.
