About Glen Strathallen
Glen Strathallen is a broken-up artificial reef in Plymouth Sound, resting on sand with boilers, hull sections, and nearby kelp and rocky gullies. Glen Strathallen is a boat dive close to the eastern entrance to the Sound, so tide timing, sea state, and navigation traffic matter as much as the wreck itself. Plan it as a shallow wreck training dive with buoyancy care around scattered metal and a route that can change with the day.
