THAMES (PROBABLY) - Scottish East Coast & Borders

The Thames (Probably) is a deep one, sitting at 41 metres off the Scottish East Coast. She was a steamship, torpedoed in 1918 by UC 17, and now lies mostly intact, offering some intriguing penetration for properly trained wreck divers. We’ve found her two boilers are a real focal point, covered in plumose anemones, with conger eels often peeking out from behind them. It’s a dive for those who appreciate history and the quiet drama of a deep wreck, best tackled on a calm day when the viz holds up. Expect to spend some quality bottom time with the resident wrasse and crabs that have made this old steamer their home.
