Glen Strathallen
The Glen Strathallen, a ship sunk on 27th April 1970, lies just off the Shag Stone in around 15m of water. Despite being broken up, the wreck still offers a fascinating sight on the sandy bottom. Divers can catch glimpses of the stern and bow sections, as well as the intact boiler and deck winch, alongside scattered artifacts. Covered in marine life, the boiler stands about 5m tall, forming a vibrant reef structure. The wreck's scattered plates are also visible, creating an additional attraction for divers. Swim northwest from the wreck to discover rocky outcrops and a kelp forest, where a variety of marine creatures like wrasse, spider and edible crabs, and cuttlefish can be observed. With a visibility of 7m and a maximum depth of 16m, this dive is suitable for both beginner and advanced divers. Located near Torpoint, Cornwall, in South West England, this dive site offers a thrilling adventure in the waters of the United Kingdom.
