Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - T6 (POSSIBLY) offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest wreck diving.
Dropping onto the T6, you’re looking at a torpedo boat that met its end from a mine in 1940. She sits at 52m, an impressive 81.4m long, and while she's classed as non-dangerous, that depth means this is one for experienced technical divers. We’ve found the wreck provides a really solid structure for some sizeable ling, and the odd wolf fish will eye you from a dark corner. It’s a deep, dark dive, so good lights are essential to properly appreciate the scale and the life that’s made this old warship home.
