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 Unnamed Shipwreck - Canmore 102610 offers some of Scottish West Coast's richest wreck diving.
There’s a certain thrill to diving an unnamed wreck on the Scottish West Coast, a real sense of discovery even if someone else found it first. Canmore 102610, as the archaeologists call it, is a fantastic example of just that. We love the mystery here, the way the structure emerges from the green-blue gloom, often draped in kelp like some forgotten underwater beast. This isn't a brightly lit Caribbean wreck; it's a moody, atmospheric dive, perfect for those who appreciate history and a bit of a challenge. You’ll find squat lobsters tucked into crevices, their eyes glinting in your torch beam, and often a decent sized cod or two patrolling the deeper sections. The wreck itself has some interesting structural elements still intact, allowing for some careful penetration if you’ve got the right training and gear. Our favourite part is navigating the twisted metal, imagining the final moments of the vessel. We’d suggest diving this on a slack tide to make the most of the exploration – currents can be pretty frisky around here. It’s a dive for those who enjoy cool water, good drysuit skills, and a healthy appreciation for maritime history.
Safety Notes
Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
