TAPTI - Scottish West Coast

Dropping onto the Tapti is like stepping back into a moment frozen in time. This carrier, built in Glasgow and sunk in 1951, lies upright at 19 metres, making her surprisingly accessible for a wreck of her size. We love poking around the cargo holds, which are now home to inquisitive Pollock and the occasional inquisitive wrasse. While she’s slowly collapsing in on herself, there's still plenty of structure to explore, offering a real sense of her former scale. She’s a great dive for those keen on historical wrecks without extreme depth or current.
