PEGGY - Scottish West Coast

The Peggy, a fishing vessel that ran aground in 1978, sits in a shallow, sheltered spot on the Scottish West Coast. It's a dive for calm days, with the wreck barely submerged at high tide, making it a good choice for newer divers or those looking for an easy second dive. You can trace its 14.6-meter length easily, picking out the hull structure. Expect to see plenty of local crabs scuttling around, often with an inquisitive blenny peeking from a crevice. It’s a quiet, reflective spot, more about the history and the small creatures than grand vistas.
