MONA - Scottish West Coast

Diving the *Mona* on Scotland’s west coast feels like stepping into a well-preserved piece of maritime history. This steamship, once the *Margaret* before its 1908 sinking, sits at a comfortable 23 metres. It’s a good-sized wreck at 48.8 metres long, with its single boiler and compound engine still distinct. We’ve found plenty of life making a home here – large wrasse cruise the decks, and the nooks and crannies hold squat lobsters and crabs. It’s a solid dive for anyone keen on wreck exploration without extreme depths, offering a relaxed look at an older vessel.
