Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - DAISY offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest wreck diving.
Daisy, a 10.4-metre fishing vessel, went down quickly in 1993 after a fouled propeller and a wind shift during a tow attempt. Today, it’s a pretty calm spot for a shallow wreck dive, sitting upright in just a metre of water. You can explore the wheelhouse, now home to small crabs and a surprising number of wrasse darting in and out of the windows. It’s a nice little photography subject, especially when the sunlight catches the rust and the fronds of kelp that have started to take hold.
