The *UNISOL* is a curious dive, sitting in what feels like impossibly shallow water for a vessel of its size. We’re talking two metres, tops, so it’s less a dive and more a snorkel with a tank. But don't let the depth fool you; this isn't some quick dip. The carrier went down in '83, and time has turned it into a surprisingly robust artificial reef. You'll spend your time hovering over the deck, picking out details of the superstructure. Rusting winches and mooring bits are easy to spot, and the scale of the ship even in this shallowness is impressive. We love tracing the deck, noticing how the light plays on the metal, dappling through the water. Crabs are everywhere, scuttling into cracks, and you'll find small schools of fish darting amongst the twisted metal. It’s an easy, relaxed exploration, perfect for photographers or anyone wanting to see a significant wreck without the depth. Our tip: go at high tide; it gives you a tiny bit more room to manoeuvre and better ambient light.
