About this Dive Site
Description
The former Royal Navy frigate HMS Scylla, intentionally sunk in 2004, now stands as a vibrant artificial reef off Plymouth. This impressive wreck, resting upright and largely intact, teems with life, providing a sanctuary for conger eels, bib, cuttlefish, and a kaleidoscope of other marine species. Explore its decks and structures to witness the successful transformation of a warship into a thriving underwater ecosystem.
