About War Captain

War Captain is a historic wreck dive in the Glenan archipelago, broken across a rocky slope with boilers, machinery, propeller, winches, and fittings still visible from the main structure. It is a boat dive for certified divers who want a route that rewards trim, buoyancy, and a settled-weather plan with tide timing in mind, plus a simple, well-briefed descent.

Scuba Diving

Broken wreck with recognizable machinery and fittings, spanning 10–35 m depth range.
