The wreck of the Lady Fullerton, off the Scottish West Coast, is a proper adventure. We’ve found her to be a moody, atmospheric dive, especially when the light’s a bit grey and that Scottish chill is in the water. She’s a trawler, sitting upright on a sandy bottom, fairly intact from bow to stern. You can really get a sense of her working life as you explore the wheelhouse and the fish hold. What we love most about this wreck is how much life she’s attracted. Conger eels peer out from every dark nook, and we’ve often spotted lobsters tucked into the plating. Squat lobsters are everywhere, waving their tiny claws from cracks. It’s a dive that rewards careful exploration, perfect for those who enjoy the history as much as the biology. Just be prepared for brisk conditions; the Scottish waters keep you honest.
