Wreck of Mfv 1018 - Scottish West Coast

Diving the MFV 1018 is a proper adventure, the kind that reminds you why you got into cold water wreck diving in the first place. Dropping onto her, you’re immediately struck by how intact she is, listing slightly to port, with her holds open and inviting. We love exploring the stern, particularly the remains of the wheelhouse, where you can still imagine the skipper at the helm. Inside the holds, squat lobsters scuttle into crevices, and we’ve often seen conger eels peering out from pipes, their heads like grizzled old men. The MFV 1018 suits divers who appreciate a bit of history and don't mind a chillier dive; it's a wonderfully atmospheric wreck, full of nooks and crannies to poke your torch into. Our advice? Go on a day with good visibility after a spell of settled weather; it makes all the difference when you’re trying to navigate her deck.
