TAURUS (POSSIBLY) - Scottish East Coast & Borders

Dropping onto the Taurus, you're immediately struck by the sheer scale of this steamship. Lying at 58 metres, it’s a serious dive, but the reward is a vast wreck spread across the seabed. We often find ourselves drawn to the engine room, with its impressive triple-expansion engine still largely intact, four boilers nearby adding to the industrial feel. Schools of saithe move through the superstructure, and ling tuck themselves into the deeper recesses. It’s a dive for those comfortable with depth and who appreciate exploring a piece of maritime history.
