SAINT BEDAN - Scottish West Coast

The Saint Bedan lies upright at a shallow 8 metres, making her a really accessible wreck dive for many. Built in 1972, she went down in 1982, and now sits as a substantial 72-metre motor vessel on the seabed. You can explore a fair bit of her structure, including the aft machinery space, which still houses parts of her English Electric Diesels engine. Over the years, she’s become a home for all sorts of local critters. Expect to find conger eels tucked into crevices, nudibranchs slowly making their way across the metal, and wrasse darting around her superstructure. It’s a proper Scottish wreck experience.
