TEAL - Scottish East Coast & Borders

The TEAL, a steamship built in 1876, lies in a manageable 21 metres, making it a good target for those looking to explore a piece of history in the Scottish waters. We’ve found her to be quite broken up in places, but you can still make out the general shape of the 67-metre vessel. Keep an eye out for the single boiler, it’s usually easy to spot and often surrounded by squat lobsters. We tend to see a good number of local fish, like wrasse and sometimes cod, sheltering in the remaining structure. It’s a solid dive for those who enjoy a bit of historical wreck interpretation without overly demanding conditions.
