Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - COSMO offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest wreck diving.
The COSMO, a cabin cruiser that ran aground off Buckhaven in '94, now sits in a shallow five metres. It's a small wreck, only 6.4 metres long, making it a good quick dive for newer divers or those looking for an easy second tank. The engine failure that sank her means she’s been on the seabed for a while now, allowing crabs and small schooling fish to make a home within the remains of the hull. We'd suggest checking it out when there’s little swell, as that shallow depth can get pretty churned up on rougher days.
