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 STEWARTS COURT (PROBABLY) offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest wreck diving.
Diving the *Stewarts Court* is a proper piece of East Coast wreck diving. She’s a steamship, sunk in 1918, and at 19 metres, she’s a good depth for extended bottom times. The wreck itself is broken, but you can still make out the bow and stern sections, with the massive boiler being the clear centrepiece – always a magnet for curious divers. We often find conger eels tucked into the darker crevices and plenty of wrasse darting around the plates, making for a lively dive amongst the history. It's a solid wreck dive for those comfortable with UK conditions, offering enough structure to explore without being overly complex.
