Wreck of Frances And Harriet - Scottish East Coast & Borders

Diving the Frances And Harriet is less about chasing big pelagics and more about the sheer history you can feel. This isn't a tropical reef; it’s a proper Scottish wreck dive, moody and atmospheric, often with a good push of current to keep you on your toes. We love dropping onto her on a calm day, when the light filters down through the green water just enough to pick out the detail of her timbers. You’ll find the wreck well-broken, spread across the seabed, but there are still plenty of recognisable sections of hull and machinery to explore. It’s the kind of site where you take your time, letting your eyes adjust to the gloom, slowly picking out the lobsters tucked into crevices and the nudibranchs grazing on the encrusting sponges. If you're into historical wreck diving, the kind that demands a bit of grit, then this is definitely one for your logbook.
