Wreck of Neanthes - Scottish West Coast

Diving the Neanthes isn't about tropical colours. It’s about history, cold water, and the sheer scale of a wreck that feels truly remote. We love tracing the lines of her hull, the steel plates draped in dead man’s fingers, swaying gently in the current. You’ll spend time exploring the bow, seeing the anchor chains still snaking out, then drift back towards the stern, often with a school of saithe circling above. Our favourite part is peeking into the darker corners, finding lobsters tucked away or ling peering out from a dark gap. This site suits divers comfortable with colder temperatures and keen to experience a proper piece of maritime heritage. It's a dive that sticks with you, reminding you of the power of the sea and the stories beneath the waves.
