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 TETRARCH (PROBABLY) offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest wreck diving.
The Tetrarch, or what we strongly suspect is her, sits upright at 58 metres, a solid steel presence on the seabed. Built in 1913, this trawler went down in 1941, and while the years have taken their toll, the hull remains largely intact. You can still make out the triple-expansion engine, a good focal point, and the single boiler is a noticeable feature. It's a deep dive, naturally, so best for experienced technical divers comfortable with overhead environments if you plan on any penetration. We’ve found plenty of ling and conger eels making homes in the deeper crevices, and the occasional anglerfish tucked into the sand nearby.
