Wreck of Ena - Scottish West Coast

Diving the *Ena* is less about dazzling colours and more about the sheer atmosphere of it all. This trawler lies on her side, around 20 metres down, and she’s truly a classic Scottish wreck. We love the way she’s perfectly preserved, almost as if she just keeled over yesterday. You can peer into the wheelhouse, still largely intact, imagining the last moments before she went down. What really makes the *Ena* for us is the resident marine life. Her steel plates are blanketed in dead man's fingers, orange and white, making the whole wreck glow under your torch. You’ll find squat lobsters tucked into every crevice, their tiny eyes peeking out, and often a conger eel or two, thick as a diver's thigh, lurking in the deeper, darker sections of the hull. It's an ideal dive for anyone with a drysuit looking for a proper, moody wreck dive, especially when the visibility is good – which, let’s be honest, is a bonus on the West Coast. We’d suggest going at slack water to properly enjoy exploring her without battling a strong current.
