Wreck of Willing Lass - Scottish West Coast

The Willing Lass isn't about tropical colours. It's about atmosphere, history, and that raw, rugged beauty you only find diving the Scottish West Coast. We love this site for its sheer diveability and how much of the wreck remains intact. You drop down onto the cargo hold, often full of schooling juvenile pollack, then you can drift over towards the engine room. Our favourite part is the bow, where the anchor chain still spills out, draped in plumose anemones, their frilly white tentacles waving in the slight surge. It’s an ideal wreck for those newer to colder water or deeper wreck penetration, with plenty to see on the exterior for a few dives before venturing inside. The structure encourages plenty of nooks for conger eels, and you'll spot crabs scuttling over corroded metal plates. Visibility can be a bit variable, especially after heavy rain, but on a good day, when the sun filters through the green water, it’s genuinely magical. We'd suggest aiming for slack tide to really enjoy exploring, as currents can pick up a bit here.
