    The *Golden Fleece* wreck on Scotland's west coast isn’t for the faint of heart, but it's a deeply rewarding dive if you’re up for it. We love the feeling of descent here, dropping into that green light, knowing you’re about to encounter a genuine piece of maritime history. The wreck itself, a steam trawler, lies broken but still substantial, with the bow and stern sections offering the most to explore. You’ll find walls covered in plumose anemones, their feathery tentacles swaying in the gentle surge, and crabs scuttling into crevices as you pass. It’s a dive that suits experienced cold-water wreck enthusiasts who appreciate the challenge and the quiet solitude of these northern waters. We always suggest keeping an eye out for the resident conger eels – they’re surprisingly large here and often found tucked away in the engine room.

    Safety Notes

    Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
