Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - ENGINEER offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest wreck diving.
The Engineer sits in fairly shallow water, a small steamship that met its end on the Scottish coast. She’s not massive, just 18 metres long and 5.5 wide, but that makes for an intimate wreck dive. You can trace her lines quite easily, seeing how the structure has settled and broken down over time. Various marine life has moved in, often tucked into the crevices of the hull. It’s a good spot for a relaxed dive, interesting enough for those who enjoy poking around a smaller wreck rather than a grand exploration.
