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) - ST KENAN (POSSIBLY) offers some of Scottish West Coast's richest wreck diving.
Dropping onto the ST KENAN (POSSIBLY) is a journey into history off the Scottish West Coast. This steamship, sunk in 1940 after a collision, rests at 54 metres, making it a dive for experienced wreck enthusiasts. The sheer depth often means clearer water, and as you descend, the ship slowly takes shape, its superstructure still largely intact. We've found the holds are often penetrable, revealing the ghostly outlines of cargo or machinery, now home to plump wrasse and inquisitive conger eels. It’s a quiet, atmospheric dive, best appreciated on a calm day when the sun can still send some light down to illuminate the deck.
