The *Prince* isn't one of those wrecks where you’re just looking at a pile of indistinguishable metal. Oh no. This is proper, atmospheric diving, and we absolutely love it. You’ll find her off the Scottish West Coast, a real historical beauty, and it feels like stepping back in time when you drop down onto her. We’ve always been drawn to wrecks with a story, and the *Prince* delivers. There are cannons, big, brooding shapes on the seabed, and some really cool structural elements that give you a sense of her original form. It’s dark down there, even on a sunny day topside, so good lights are essential to pick out the details – and trust us, there are plenty of details. We’ve spotted conger eels peeking out of crevices, and the kelp growth around the deeper sections adds a spooky, ethereal feel. This site suits divers who appreciate history and don’t mind a bit of a chill. Visibility can be a bit variable, but when it's good, it's really good, and you can make out the whole silhouette of the wreck. Our favourite part has to be finning slowly along the deck, imagining the ship in her prime. It’s not a site for speed; it’s one for contemplation.
