Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - FOREMOST GUIDE offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest wreck diving.
The Foremost Guide, sitting in the shallows off Rosyth, isn’t some grand deep-water expedition. It’s an intimate wreck dive, perfect for those days when you just want to get wet without the faff. We love it because it’s so accessible, an ideal spot for extended bottom times and honing your wreck skills. She was a dredger, sunk back in ‘39 after an unfortunate run-in with a large metal object – imagine the thud – and then moved to her current resting place. Now, at just 8 meters, she’s become a home for all sorts of local characters. We’ve found plenty of crabs scuttling over the plates, their claws waving from beneath the corroded steel. Look for the small conger eels tucked into any crevice, usually just their heads peeking out, watching you pass. The visibility here can be… *variable*, let’s say, especially after a good storm, so we always suggest checking local conditions before you head out. When it's calm though, the green light filters down beautifully, highlighting the curves of the hull. It’s a proper piece of history right there, just waiting for a slow exploration.
