RING - Scottish East Coast & Borders

The Ring, a steamship that went down in 1917, lies at a depth of 52m off the Scottish East Coast. She's a good example of an early 20th-century cargo vessel, broken but still recognisable at points. We usually find conger eels tucked into the deeper recesses of the hull and the remains of her single boiler. It’s a dive for those comfortable with deeper wrecks and the colder water that comes with the territory here. Visibility can vary, but on a good day, the structure emerges from the gloom, offering a decent exploration of her 69-meter length.
