Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - Craigmaroinn offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest reef diving.
Craigmaroinn, off the Aberdeenshire coast, is one of those spots that rewards a bit of local knowledge. It's a reef dive, not a massive wall or anything dramatic, but it consistently holds some interesting creatures if you know where to look. We've often found nudibranchs tucked into crevices and occasionally a curious seal will come to check you out. It’s a good choice for divers comfortable with colder water and perhaps a touch of current, looking for a relaxed exploration rather than a high-octane drift.
