ROSA (POSSIBLY) - Scottish East Coast & Borders

The *Rosa* sits deep, a 70-meter steamship sunk by a mine in 1939. This isn't a site for the casual diver; dropping to 52 meters, it demands experience and careful planning. What you find is a proper wreck, still holding its form, with plating and structure for probing eyes. We’ve found cod and conger eels making homes in the deeper recesses, with the odd squat lobster clinging to the superstructure. It's a deep, dark dive, but a rewarding one for those who appreciate a wreck with a story and the marine life that now claims it.
