Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - SUAVITY offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest wreck diving.
Diving the Suavity means dropping onto a substantial wreck, one that offers a real sense of its former life. At 38 metres, it’s a site for experienced divers comfortable with deeper profiles and the generally cool, low-vis conditions common to the Scottish East Coast. We’ve found the stern section, with its visible engine room, particularly interesting; you can often make out the large six-cylinder oil engine, a testament to its 1940 build. Expect to see plenty of local residents – we usually spot conger eels tucked into gaps and cod patrolling the superstructure. It's a proper piece of history down there, slowly becoming part of the seabed.
