Wreck of Norse - Scottish West Coast

Diving the Norse wreck on the Scottish West Coast is a proper adventure. She sits upright, pretty much intact, and the cold water has done a fantastic job of preserving her. As you descend, the superstructure looms out of the gloom, often cloaked in plumose anemones, their white tentacles swaying gently with the surge. We love exploring her holds, dark and cavernous, where conger eels often peek out from behind rusted beams. Look closely, and you’ll spot squat lobsters tucked into every crevice, and the odd wolf fish patrolling the deeper sections. It's a dive that really suits those who appreciate history and don't mind a bit of a chill; the rewards are absolutely worth it. The conditions can be tricky, so we'd suggest picking a slack tide for the best visibility and a more relaxed exploration.
