MIZPAH

The Mizpah. Now, this is a wreck we always look forward to. At 58 metres, it’s a deep one, but for those with the training, it’s a fantastically intact little fishing vessel, around 15 metres long. We love how it still sits upright, almost as if it’s just resting on the seabed, complete with a trawl net draped over its bow. Dropping down, the visibility in these parts can swing wildly, but when it’s good, the Mizpah truly shines. We’ve found the best light often hits mid-morning, illuminating the skeletal mast and the wheelhouse, still largely intact. Look closely and you’ll find plenty of inquisitive squat lobsters tucked into every crevice, along with the occasional ling peering out from a dark corner. The real charm here is the sense of discovery, swimming around the deck, imagining the last moments before it went down in 1981. It’s a proper expedition dive, a deep, atmospheric piece of maritime history perfect for technical divers who appreciate an intact wreck with a quiet story to tell.
