DRIEBERGEN

The Driebergen, a substantial steamship, sits upright and largely intact at 54 metres, making her a serious dive for experienced technical teams. We love the sheer scale of her; at 122 metres long, you could spend multiple dives exploring. Her bow points east, rising impressively from the seabed, and as you descend, the sheer bulk of her structure comes into view, often shrouded in the murky green glow typical of Scottish waters. Inside, the holds are open, revealing the cavernous spaces where her cargo once lay. We’ve spotted conger eels snaking through the shadowy crevices, and the deck, though collapsing in places, still offers a sense of her original layout. Look for the massive boilers, a focal point of the engine room, now encrusted with colourful anemones and dead man’s fingers. The Driebergen suits divers comfortable with deep, dark conditions and who appreciate the historical weight of a well-preserved wreck. It’s a dive that rewards thorough planning and a keen eye for detail.
