Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - DOVE offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest wreck diving.
The Dove, an old fishing trawler, sits upright at 30 metres off the Scottish East Coast. It’s a relatively intact wreck, offering a good penetration for those qualified and some interesting swim-throughs around the wheelhouse. We often see conger eels tucked into the darker spaces and plenty of wrasse darting around the superstructure. It's a solid dive for experienced cold-water wreck enthusiasts.
