Wreck of Mary Clark - Scottish West Coast

Diving the Mary Clark on Scotland’s west coast is less about tropical fish and more about a palpable sense of history. We love it for its moody, evocative atmosphere. Dropping onto the wreck, you’ll find the old steamer relatively intact, especially the stern. We spent a good hour just exploring the engine room, which is still surprisingly accessible, and watching the resident conger eels poke their heads from every pipe and crevice. It’s a dark dive, often silty, but the real reward comes from spotting the nudibranchs that pepper the superstructure, tiny flashes of colour against the rust. For divers who appreciate shipwrecks with character, and don’t mind a bit of a chill, this one’s a real treat. We’d suggest going at slack tide to minimise current, making the penetration easier and visibility, usually around 5-10 metres, slightly better.
