Wreck of Dorothy Jobson - Scottish East Coast & Borders

The Dorothy Jobson sits off Eyemouth, a ghostly skeleton often shrouded in that beautiful, murky Scottish green. We love this wreck not just for its history, but for the way it feels like diving through a forgotten story. You’ll fin over shattered decking and ribs of steel, the ship's structure now home to all sorts of critters. Look closely, and you’ll spot plumose anemones clinging to the metalwork, their white tentacles swaying in the surge, and the occasional inquisitive wrasse peeking out from a twisted plate. It’s a dive for those who appreciate the quiet drama of a wreck dive, where the thrill comes from discovery rather than blinding colour. This isn’t a high-vis tropical plunge; it's a dive that rewards patience and a good torch, perfect for photographers keen on atmospheric shots.
