SHAKESPEARE - Scottish East Coast & Borders

Diving the Shakespeare is a proper journey back in time, a 33-metre trawler resting upright on the seabed. Dropping down, you’ll find her largely intact, the bow pointing north, providing plenty of structure to explore. We’ve seen conger eels poking out from nooks and crannies, and dead man's fingers coral have really started to colonise the hull. It's a dive for those who appreciate history and the quiet solitude of a deeper wreck, suitable for experienced divers comfortable with the 50-metre range and the cooler North Sea temperatures. The visibility can be hit or miss, but on a good day, the outline of the Shakespeare is quite clear against the silty bottom.
