SKOVDAL (PROBABLY) - Scottish East Coast & Borders

The Skovdal, or what we believe to be the Skovdal, sits at a shallow six metres, making it a decent introductory wreck dive for the Scottish East Coast. She was a steamship, originally launched in 1891, and went down in 1917. You’ll find the remains of a wooden-hulled vessel, broken up but still recognisable in sections. The wreck acts as a bit of an artificial reef, drawing in whatever local fish fancy a bit of shelter. It’s a good spot for a longer dive, exploring the spread of the old ship, particularly if you’re keen on seeing history rather than just big critters. Just keep an eye on those East Coast currents.
