Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - KAMMA offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest wreck diving.
The Kamma, a steamship built in 1883, went down in 1917 and now sits at a modest 15 meters on the Scottish East Coast. She's a good wreck for those looking for a relatively shallow explore, particularly if you’re into older iron ships. We’ve found her to be quite broken up, but you can still make out the general shape and the single boiler is usually quite prominent. It's become a decent home for local critters, with plenty of crabs tucked into crevices and small schools of fish darting through the rusted plates. Visibility can be a bit hit or miss, as is often the case around here, so pick a calm day if you can.
