AEPOS - Scottish East Coast & Borders

The AEPOS, a steamship built back in 1873, sits upright at 60 meters. She went down on Christmas Day, 1920, and today she’s a proper deep dive, best suited for those comfortable with technical profiles. The wreck itself is largely intact, a testament to her sturdy Swedish build, with her single boiler and compound expansion engine still recognisable amid the gloom. Expect to find her hull encrusted with anemones, and we’ve often seen conger eels poking out from darker corners, along with the usual crabs and lobsters making themselves at home. It’s a dive that rewards careful planning and good buoyancy control.
