Protected Area
Tynemouth to Seaton Sluice
Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - SCOTT MILLER offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest wreck diving.
Diving the *Scott Miller* takes you to a stern trawler, sunk in 1990 after a tow went wrong off the Tyne entrance. At 34 metres, she's a dive for those comfortable with deeper UK wreck diving, and while the structure isn't massive at 15 metres long, what's left is often cloaked in plumose anemones, their white tentacles waving in the current. You'll likely find crabs scuttling in the shadows and various small fish using the frames for shelter. It's an atmospheric dive, a quiet corner of the North Sea seabed with a bit of history to it.
