THALIA - Scottish West Coast

Dropping onto the Thalia, you’re met by a substantial steamship, resting upright in 46 metres of cold Scottish water. Built in 1929, she went down in 1941, and now her structure provides a grand home for crabs and the occasional inquisitive conger eel. We find the twin boilers particularly impressive, a testament to her working life, and they’re a good focal point for a careful exploration. This is a dive for experienced wreck enthusiasts who appreciate the history and the challenging conditions that come with deep Scottish diving. Plan your gas carefully, and pick a day with minimal surge for the best visibility.
