TELESILLA - Scottish East Coast & Borders

The Telesilla wreck lies shallow, making it an accessible dive for many, though don't expect balmy conditions off the Scottish East Coast. This steamship, sunk in 1896, rests at a maximum depth of 5 metres. You'll find her plates well broken up, but the sheer size of the vessel, over 70 metres long, still gives a real sense of her scale. We’ve seen crabs tucked into the remaining framework, and plenty of anenomes clinging on. It’s a good spot for a second dive or if you're looking for something close to shore with a bit of history.
