ST CONAN - Scottish West Coast

The ST CONAN sits in fairly shallow water on the Scottish West Coast, making it a decent introductory wreck for many. At just 10 metres, you don't need to push bottom times to explore the remains of this 1917 steamship. She went down in 1939 after running aground in fog, with another salvage vessel, the SS KINSOL, sinking right alongside her during recovery efforts. While the wreckage is a bit broken up now, we still find the shape of the hull fairly discernible, with plenty of small fish, crabs, and anemones making it their home amongst the metal plates. It's a relaxed dive, good for photographers keen on marine life against an historical backdrop without deep dive complexities.
