SEA WITCH
Protected Area
Berwickshire and North Northumberland Coast
Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - SEA WITCH offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest wreck diving.
The Sea Witch, a small fishing vessel that went down in 1992, is a neat little dive if you’re exploring the Scottish East Coast. Sitting upright at 31 metres, her 7.6-metre length means you can take in the whole wreck fairly easily on a single dive. We’ve found her to be quite photogenic, often draped in dead man's fingers and home to plenty of wrasse darting around her structure. It’s a solid pick for divers who appreciate smaller, intact wrecks and the hardy local critters that have made them home.
