Wreck of Frey

The Frey, a German trawler sunk during World War II, is everything we love about diving Scottish wrecks. Lying around 30 metres, she’s largely intact and offers some fantastic penetration for suitably qualified divers. Dropping down onto her deck, you’ll often find conger eels peering from every nook and cranny, their heads swaying in the gentle surge. Our favourite spot is the stern, where the prop is still clearly visible, encrusted with dead man’s fingers and anemones. Visibility here can be hit or miss – some days you’re bathed in diffuse green light, others it’s a proper low-vis adventure, relying on your torch. We’d suggest aiming for slack water, as currents can pick up, making the dive a bit more challenging. It’s a proper dive, not for the faint of heart or those new to wreck diving, but for experienced cold-water enthusiasts, it’s a rewarding trip back in time.
