Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue whales, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales and ocean sunfish (mola mola) - Wreck of Success offers some of Scottish West Coast's richest wreck diving.
The Wreck of Success, off Scotland’s west coast, feels like a proper deep dive into history. This old trawler lies broken, but the stern section still holds together well, offering some intriguing nooks and crannies to poke around in. We usually find crabs scuttling amongst the plates and blennies peeking out of holes, quite at home in the metalwork. It’s a good spot for divers comfortable in colder water, keen to explore a piece of maritime past rather than just another reef.
Safety Notes
