SHUNA

Loch Sunart
Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue whales, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales and ocean sunfish (mola mola) - SHUNA offers some of Scottish West Coast's richest wreck diving.
Diving the Shuna is a step back in time. This steamship went down in 1913, resting upright at 25 metres in the Sound of Mull. We've always found her impressive, with the bow still largely intact, and the triple-expansion engines a real highlight to explore. Look closely around the superstructure for plumose anemones and squat lobsters; the wreck has become a proper home for west coast critters. It's a solid dive for those who enjoy a bit of history and don't mind the cooler Scottish waters.
