SNELAND 1 - Scottish East Coast & Borders

The *Snøland 1* sits deep, at 51 metres, off the Scottish East Coast – a serious dive for those comfortable with depth and cold water. This steamship, sunk by a torpedo in 1945, is largely intact, offering a glimpse into wartime history. You’ll find the wreck upright, her structure still holding strong despite the decades on the seabed. Expect to see some hefty cod and ling sheltering within her holds, and crabs scuttling over the hull plates. It’s a dark, atmospheric dive, often with limited visibility, so bring a good torch and keep an eye on your bottom time.
