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) - Thesis Wreck offers some of Scottish West Coast's richest wreck diving.
The Thesis Wreck, off the Scottish West Coast, offers a proper deep dive with a bit of a story. We’re talking about a steam trawler, now lying pretty broken up, but you can still pick out the boilers and stern section. It’s sitting in around 30 metres, which means decent bottom time requires some careful planning. Inside the wreckage, we've found conger eels tucked into the dark spaces, and the odd inquisitive pollack will often cruise past. It's a site for experienced cold water divers who appreciate a historical wreck and don't mind the variable visibility Scotland can dish out.
