TATIANA
Protected Area
Durham
Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - TATIANA offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest wreck diving.
The Tatiana, a trawler sunk by a U-boat in 1916, rests at 46 metres, making it a dive for experienced wreck enthusiasts. It's a deep one, so prepare your gas and your dive plan accordingly. What you'll find down there is a surprisingly intact structure, softened by time and the encroaching sea life. We've seen conger eels poking out from behind plating, and often spot crabs scuttling across the deck. The visibility here can be a bit of a lottery, as you'd expect in the North Sea, but on a good day, the silhouette of the Tatiana emerging from the gloom is a powerful sight.
