A rib / wreck dive with Sarah Forbes at SS Breda, Ardnamurkish Bay, Oban.
The 6,941gt SS Breda is perhaps one of Scotland’s most famous and most popular wrecks. She sits upright on an even keel in a sheltered bay near Oban, and is easily located and dived. She was built in 1921 in the Netherlands and traded until she became a victim of World War II.
