Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - SPICA OF RIGA offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest wreck diving.
The Spica of Riga sits in just 5 metres of water, a wreck from 1916 that’s now well broken up. You’ll find its scattered remains spread across the seabed, giving plenty of smaller nooks for crabs and lobsters to hide in. It’s a site that suits newer wreck divers or those looking for an easy second dive, with good opportunities for photography in decent visibility.
