StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

The Fisher Queen, sitting upright, is a proper wreck dive, not just a pile of scattered metal. We love the way she’s been colonised by the local fauna. You’ll find squat lobsters tucked into every crevice, and the resident conger eels are usually out and about, eyeing you from the gloom. It’s the sheer intactness that makes this site special. You can still make out the superstructure, trace the deck lines, and really get a sense of her former life as a fishing trawler. The stern is particularly photogenic, often draped in dead man’s fingers. We’d suggest going on a calm day; the visibility here can be surprisingly good, especially when the plankton isn’t blooming. Keep an eye out for nudibranchs, too. They pepper the plating if you look closely enough. This dive really suits those who appreciate a tangible piece of history, who don't mind a bit of chill, and who find beauty in the way the sea reclaims its own.
