Glen Strathallan
About this Dive Site
Description
The Glen Strathallan, a former trawler transformed into a private yacht, was deliberately sunk in 1970 and now rests as a popular dive site off Plymouth. This accessible wreck is a haven for marine life, frequently hosting spider crabs, lobsters, and various species of wrasse. Its shallow depth and abundant sea life make it an ideal location for training dives and for divers seeking a relaxed exploration of a thriving artificial reef.
