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) - Wreck of Exit offers some of Scottish West Coast's richest wreck diving.
The **Wreck of Exit** on Scotland's west coast isn't about tropical colours. It's a dive into history, cold and dark, but utterly compelling. We love the eerie silhouette of this old trawler, lying broken on the seabed. You descend into that green twilight, and the wreck emerges, encrusted with anemones and dead man’s fingers. It’s an experience best suited for divers who appreciate the moodiness of northern waters, those who find beauty in a ghost ship. We often find conger eels peering from dark corners and plump lobsters scuttling across the plates. The visibility can be temperamental here, but on a good day, when the light penetrates just right, you get these incredible shafts illuminating the wreck. It’s a dive that sticks with you long after the hot tea back on the boat.
