Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - ARMS offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest wreck diving.
The ARMS site is an accessible shallow wreck, sitting at just 6m. It’s primarily a salvage operation, but what remains is a surprisingly intact hull section, mostly scattered debris now, really. The wreckage has attracted shore crabs and small blennies. We'd suggest this site for newer divers looking to get some wreck experience without the usual depth challenges of Scottish diving.
