CLAN SHAW (PART OF) (POSSIBLY) - Scottish East Coast & Borders

The Clan Shaw, or what we believe is the Clan Shaw, offers a real taste of Scottish wreck diving without the usual teeth-chattering depth. Dropping onto the site, you're immediately struck by the sheer scale of the scattered remains. We love how the hull plates, twisted and torn, create little caverns and overhangs, perfect for snooping around with a torch. It's a shallow dive, topping out at just 10 metres, so you get plenty of bottom time to really soak it all in. Look for the three large boilers – they're always a highlight, often draped in dead man's fingers and swarming with tiny crustaceans. The site hums with life, from the scuttling crabs in every crevice to the occasional inquisitive pollack shadowing you through the gloom. It’s a site that rewards a slow, deliberate exploration; perfect for wreck enthusiasts who appreciate history and don't mind a bit of a current.
