Wreck of Ann And Isabella

Diving the Ann And Isabella off the Scottish East Coast is less about coral and more about chilling with history. We love it because it’s a proper wreck dive, dark and moody, where you truly feel the weight of the past. Dropping down, you’ll find the wreck well broken but still cohesive enough to give you plenty to explore. Think jagged metal frames, scattered plates, and the lingering sense of a vessel that met its end in these cold waters. It’s a dive for those who appreciate the quiet drama of a historical site and the hardy marine life that calls it home. Visibility here can be a bit of a lottery, sometimes twenty metres, sometimes five, so pick your day. Our favourite time to dive it is on a slack tide, otherwise, you're fighting currents that are frankly exhausting. Look out for the resident wrasse darting between the metal, and we’ve often seen conger eels poking their heads out from deeper sections of the wreckage. It’s a site that rewards repeat visits, each dive revealing a new detail, a different angle of this old ship, now a part of the seabed. Bring a good torch and keep your eyes peeled for the smaller critters making a living on the old steel.
