SAMUEL L FULLER - Scottish West Coast

The Samuel L. Fuller sits shallow, just two meters down, a tanker that ran aground in 1943. While it’s not a deep dive by any stretch, it’s a surprisingly engaging spot for a leisurely exploration, particularly good for those newer to wreck diving or just looking for a relaxed afternoon. We found the remains spread out, hull sections and superstructure clearly visible, creating plenty of nooks and crannies for crabs and small blennies. The visibility here can be hit or miss, but on a good day, the light filters through beautifully, illuminating the dark metal and the surprising amount of green algae clinging to it. It’s a gentle wreck, a nice taste of history without the usual depth or current challenges often associated with Scottish sites.
