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 HUMBER PACKET offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest wreck diving.
The Humber Packet sits in just five metres, making it an accessible dive for anyone comfortable in shallow water. What remains of the wreck is quite broken up, but it offers plenty of nooks and crannies to explore. We’ve found blennies, crabs, and sometimes a curious cod sheltering amongst the scattered timbers. It’s a good choice for a second dive or a relaxed morning, especially on a calm day.
