BRACONASH (POSSIBLY) - Scottish East Coast & Borders

Dropping onto the Braconash (Possibly) is a solid dive for those who appreciate a deeper wreck. She’s a trawler, sunk back in 1916, and sits upright at 48 metres. You’ll find her main structure largely intact, with the single boiler and triple expansion engine still prominent, a real nod to her Glasgow shipbuilding origins. Over the decades, the wreck has become a busy apartment block for local life; expect to see wrasse darting through the superstructure and plenty of crabs tucked into crevices. It's a dive that rewards careful exploration, perhaps best suited to experienced cold-water divers comfortable with deeper profiles and the conditions the Scottish East Coast can throw at you.
