Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - CLINT offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest wreck diving.
Clint, a steamship that went down in 1927, lies at a manageable 21 metres. She's a good introduction to East Coast wreck diving, offering a decent amount of structure without being overwhelming. You'll find her single boiler and triple-expansion engine towards the stern, providing some nice nooks for lobsters and crabs to hide. The wreck itself, while broken, still gives you a good sense of her original form, with plenty of resident wrasse darting between the plates. It’s a solid dive for those looking to spend an hour exploring a piece of maritime history.
