Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - SHERIFFMUIR offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest wreck diving.
The Sheriffmuir is a fishing vessel that ran aground in 1976. Now she sits three miles offshore, broken into a few larger sections. We find her upright, though, which is always good for getting a sense of the original structure. Keep an eye out for crabs scuttling over the plates and various small fish darting through the exposed ribs. It's a decent wreck for a poke around if you're in the area and fancy a bit of history.
Safety Notes
Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
