Princess Lodge

The Princess Lodge, sunk in 1931, offers a unique blend of history and cold-water marine life. We love how the wreck, a former passenger steamer, sits upright, her structure still largely intact despite the years. Descending onto the main deck, you’ll find schools of cunner darting between the railings, and if you peer into the shadowy holds, you might spot a wolf eel or a particularly grumpy looking lumpfish. Exploring the upper decks, we often see anemones, their tentacles swaying gently in the subtle surge, transforming the metal into a living reef. It's not a deep dive, making it accessible for those comfortable in cooler water, but the true joy comes from the detailed exploration possible here. Our favourite time to visit is on a calm, sunny day; the light filters down through the kelp, illuminating the wreck in a way that feels almost ethereal, revealing all sorts of nooks and crannies to investigate.
