Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - TREBARTHA offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest wreck diving.
The Trebartha is a proper expedition, not just a casual dip. We love how spread out she is, a real testament to the power of the sea. You’ll spend most of your 12-meter dive exploring the scattered remains, boilers here, twisted metal plates there. It’s not a single, intact structure, but that’s exactly what makes it interesting – you’re piecing together a story as you go. Our favourite time to dive Trebartha is on a calm, bright day. The visibility can be surprisingly good then, letting you take in the scale of the debris field. Look closely at the gaps and under the plates. We’ve spotted some hefty conger eels tucked away, and the light often catches the schooling pollack that dart around the larger sections. It’s a site for those who enjoy a bit of history with their diving, for sure. Bring a good torch and a keen eye; the details on the scattered sections are what make this wreck.
