Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - HANNE offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest wreck diving.
The Hanne, a steamship sunk in 1939, sits in just 3 meters of water, making it a genuinely accessible wreck dive off the Scottish East Coast. Built in 1905, her steel hull, though broken, offers plenty of structure to explore. We’ve found her an excellent spot for newer wreck divers or those looking for a relaxed second dive. Look closely and you’ll find crabs tucked into crevices and small schools of fish darting through the exposed ribs. Being so shallow, it's a site best enjoyed on a calm day with good light, as visibility can be hit or miss here.
