Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - THE GLASGOW PACKET offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest wreck diving.
The Glasgow Packet is a shallow wreck, sitting in just 2m of water, making it surprisingly accessible for divers of all experience levels. We often see it used for training dives or simply as a relaxing way to spend an afternoon. Expect to find a broken-up wreck scattered across the seabed, its remains now home to various crabs and small fish darting amongst the rusted plates. It's a gentle introduction to wreck diving, more of a historical marker than an adventurous penetration dive.
