Wreck of Seagull - Scottish West Coast

Diving the Wreck of Seagull off Scotland’s West Coast, you’re not just exploring a sunken ship, you’re stepping into a piece of maritime history. We love how the hull has been completely claimed by the sea, a vibrant metal reef draped in plumose anemones that pulse in the current. You’ll weave through the skeletal remains of the deck, spotting wrasse darting between the rusted ribs and conger eels peeking from dark crevices. Visibility here can be temperamental, it’s Scotland after all, so pick a calm day if you can, but even with a bit of gloom, the sheer density of life clinging to the wreck is impressive. This dive suits those who appreciate the quiet, dramatic beauty of a wreck truly absorbed by its environment, and who don’t mind a bit of chill in the water. We always find something new each time we drop down, a testament to how alive this old ship has become.
