Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - RAVNANGER (PROBABLY) offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest wreck diving.
The Ravnanger, probably, sits deep off the Scottish East Coast, a real diver's wreck if ever there was one. Dropping down to 42 metres, this isn't a casual splash, but the reward is a hulking steamship, built in 1919 and sunk in 1940. We love how intact she remains. You can still trace the lines of her 102-metre length, her triple expansion engine a ghostly outline for advanced divers. Visibility here can be a lottery, typical for these waters, but when it clears, the scale is impressive. Shoals of saithe swirl around the superstructure, and if you bring a good light, the colours of the anemones clinging to the hull are startling. Our favourite part? Peering into the cargo holds, imagining the goods she carried before her final, dramatic journey. This site demands respect for its depth and conditions, but for experienced wreck enthusiasts, the Ravnanger offers a truly immersive dive into maritime history.
