Wreck of Ann Guthrie - Scottish East Coast & Borders

The Ann Guthrie, a trawler that went down in 1960, is one of those wrecks we keep coming back to. We love how accessible it is, sitting upright in the sandy seabed, often with a decent amount of ambient light filtering through. You can fin right along the deck, picking out details like the winch and the remains of the wheelhouse. Our favourite part is always the stern, where the prop is still mostly intact, usually swarming with juvenile coalfish. Look closely in the hold, and you'll often find a decent-sized wolf fish peering out from the gloom – they’re fairly predictable here. This dive is perfect for wreck enthusiasts who appreciate a bit of history without the challenge of extreme depths or strong currents. It’s a great chance to hone your wreck penetration skills on a relatively intact structure, and the resident crabs and anenomes add a splash of colour to the steel. The visibility can be a bit hit-or-miss, as with much of the East Coast, but on a good day, it’s a truly atmospheric dive.
