OCEAN - Scottish East Coast & Borders

The Ocean lies off the Scottish East Coast, a steamship that went down in 1917. She’s deep, sitting at 36 metres, so this is one for experienced divers comfortable with colder water and decent bottom times. The wreck itself is a good size, 75 metres long, and while she's a "dangerous wreck" according to the old charts, that mostly means she's broken up and spread out a bit. We've found the triple-expansion engine and a single boiler are still quite distinct, making for interesting navigation through the remains. Expect to see cod, conger eels, and a good scattering of crabs making homes in the twisted metal, all draped in anemones and dead man's fingers. It’s a challenging dive, but rewarding for wreck enthusiasts looking for a piece of history.
