Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - TITAN offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest wreck diving.
The Titan, a steamship that went down off the Scottish East Coast, rests at a shallow nine metres. It’s marked as a dangerous wreck, which usually means it’s broken up, but that just adds to the character here. You’ll find its scattered remains have become home to a surprising amount of local marine life. Think crabs scuttling over twisted metal and small fish darting through the rusted hull plates. It's a site that suits divers looking for a relaxed exploration, not a deep penetration, with plenty of smaller details to discover among the wreckage.
