THESIS - Scottish West Coast

The Thesis, a steamship that went down in 1889, lies in about 20 metres of water off the Scottish West Coast. She’s broken up now, but you can still make out the bones of her structure, particularly the substantial boiler. It's not a deep dive, making it a good spot for those looking to get some wreck time in without pushing the limits. Crabs and lobsters have made homes in the scattered plates, and often we’ll spot a few curious conger eels poking out from beneath the larger sections. It’s a solid wreck dive for a day when the conditions are playing ball – expect good visibility in the calmer summer months.
