ROTHA

The Rotha is a proper old steamship, sunk way back in 1902, sitting upright at 42 metres. She’s definitely one for the experienced wreck divers who appreciate a bit of history and don't mind the chillier North Sea. We’ve found her to be quite intact, with the triple-expansion engine and single boiler still quite prominent, making for some good exploration if you’re comfortable with the depth and potential for low visibility. Look out for the iron propeller too – it’s a nice feature. While we haven't logged specific species here, the general rule for these older wrecks in Scottish waters is that you’ll usually spot wrasse, pollack, and sometimes a ling lurking in the shadows, making themselves at home among the structure.
