KALUA - Scottish East Coast & Borders

The Kalua, resting at 39 meters, is a decent dive for those keen on World War II history in the North Sea. Bombed in April 1941, her 59.4-meter hull is broken but still offers points of interest, especially around the bow and stern where some structure remains. We’ve found her to be a productive spot for spotting lobsters tucked into the wreckage and often see large conger eels making their homes in the deeper sections. It’s a dive for experienced wreck enthusiasts, suitable for divers comfortable with deeper profiles and the generally chillier Scottish conditions. Visibility can vary, so picking your day is key for getting the most out of the site.
