Wreck of Granfos - Scottish West Coast

The Granfos, an old Norwegian steamship, sits upright and largely intact, making it one of our favourite Scottish wrecks for sheer explorability. We love dropping onto her bow, often finding pollack darting through the mast structure, and then working our way aft along the deck. You can really get a sense of her original form, with cabins still identifiable and the cargo holds open for a peek, though we always recommend a good light – it gets dark in there. What really sells the Granfos is how the cold, nutrient-rich Scottish water has kept her in such good condition while also fostering a remarkable growth of plumose anemones and dead man’s fingers coral. The engine room, especially, is covered in these soft corals, and we’ve often spotted conger eels tucked away in the darker corners. It’s a dive that rewards careful exploration and a good torch, perfect for those who appreciate history mingling with a healthy dose of marine life.
