Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - NO.24 offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest wreck diving.
The NO.24 site off the Scottish East Coast is a barge, sunk back in February of 1957. Lying at a shallow 6 metres, it’s a straightforward dive, great for an easy dip or for photographers looking for longer bottom times. We found the wreck itself is quite broken up, but you can still make out the general shape of the vessel, and its steel framework provides plenty of nooks. Look closely and you’ll often spot crabs scuttling amongst the plates and small schools of juvenile fish sheltering in the shadows. It's a nice, relaxed dive if you’re in the area, particularly on a calm day.
