l’Eldon
Deep Mer d'Iroise wreck with rails and boilers.
A boat-access wreck in the Mer d'Iroise with rails, boilers, and a sandy bottom; best for advanced wreck divers who can work around fog and current-sensitive timing.
About l’Eldon
l'Eldon is a boat-dived British cargo wreck lying in the Mer d'Iroise off the Isle of Molene. The rails are still laid out on the sandy bottom, and the wreck offers boilers, a condenser, and the rudder area covered with spirographs, plus crabs and conger eels around the structure. It suits experienced wreck divers who want a deep, atmospheric site rather than a bright reef.
