Wreck of Cleveragh

The Cleveragh, a trawler that sank way back in 1918, lies on her starboard side, surprisingly intact for her age and location. We love how the hull opens up in places, letting you poke your head into the old fish holds, now home to a resident population of plump conger eels. The stern is particularly photogenic, with the rudder and prop still in place, encrusted with dead man's fingers and anemones. Exploring the superstructure, you’ll find the galley and engine room accessible, making for some genuinely atmospheric penetration – just remember your torch and good buoyancy. This wreck is a proper time capsule, a real insight into early 20th-century maritime life, and a favourite for photographers and history buffs alike. We’d suggest timing your dive for slack water; the currents here can really rip.
