Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - GLEN offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest wreck diving.
The GLEN is a neat little steamship wreck, sitting upright in only 7 metres of water. We’ve found her remarkably intact for a vessel that hit a mine back in 1940, with parts of the hull and superstructure still easily identifiable. It’s a compact dive, perfect for a relaxed hour underwater, and the shallow depth means plenty of light for photography. Look closely and you’ll spot crab and lobster tucked into the nooks, along with the occasional inquisitive wrasse darting through the remains. For divers keen on UK history and a gentle wreck exploration, the GLEN offers a really accessible look at a wartime casualty.
