Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - ROLFSBORG offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest wreck diving.
The *Rolfsborg* sits upright at 45 metres, a proper deep wreck for those comfortable with the colder, darker conditions of the Scottish East Coast. She's a steamship, sunk in '45 after a collision, and remarkably intact given her age. We’ve found her triple expansion engine still largely in place, a real treat for anyone interested in maritime history and machinery. Expect to see plenty of squat lobsters tucked into every crevice, and often some decent-sized ling lurking in the cargo holds. This is a dive for experienced wreck enthusiasts, offering a satisfying exploration rather than vibrant colours.
