Wreck of Kitty - Scottish West Coast

The *Kitty*, off the Scottish West Coast, isn't about tropical colours. It's a proper wreck dive, a bit moody, very atmospheric. We love it because it feels like stepping back in time, all while being absolutely smothered in the raw, rugged beauty of the Scottish seabed. Dropping down, the first thing that hits you is the sheer sense of scale. She’s a big girl, and the cold, green water gives everything a kind of muted grandeur. You'll find her broken up in places, but the outline of a substantial steamer is still clear. Look for the boilers, they’re usually a good navigation point, massive and encrusted with plumose anemones that pulse gently in the current. Ling often lurk in the deeper sections, thick-bodied and curious, watching you from the shadows. Our favourite part has to be the stern section; it’s more intact, and on a day with decent visibility, you can really appreciate the structure. This site suits divers who appreciate history and don't mind a bit of a chill; it's a dive that rewards slow exploration rather than speedy sightseeing.
