Looking to do some scuba diving in near Ullapool?  The Scottish Highlands offers some of the finest scuba diving locations from: the Fairweather V a steel, stern-trawling fishing vessel which sank on 4 February, 1991. Still intact and lying in 25–30m of water it is still in excellent condition and is now covered in plumose anemones, bryozoans, hydroids, nudibranchs.

The Fairweather V
 

The Fairweather V ran aground in 1992 at the west end of Annat Bay, eight miles out of Ullapool . The hull was undamaged and she was later pulled off the rocks by a local tug, the Finch. Water flooded in through an open hatch and she sank in 30m of water. The wreck now sits upright on a sloping sandy bottom, intact and undamaged. Local commercial divers were called in to locate her, while doing so they found the “Innisjura” lying nearby.

There isn’t another wreck site like this, which is why it is visited by so many divers every year. A group of divers from Belgium come across three times a year to dive the Summer Isles and the Fairweather.
