TEAL (PROBABLY) - Scottish East Coast & Borders

The *Teal*, a steamship built in 1876, found its final resting place off the Scottish East Coast in 1916. Sitting upright at 27m, this 67-metre wreck is well-broken, but still offers plenty to explore. We’ve found the bow and stern sections are often the most intact, with various pieces of machinery, like a large boiler, scattered across the seabed. Expect to see plenty of local wrasse darting between the metalwork, alongside shore crabs making good use of the shadowy nooks. It’s a good dive for those who appreciate maritime history and don’t mind a bit of a current, which can sometimes be a factor here.
