Wreck of Georgina - Scottish East Coast & Borders

Diving the *Georgina* isn't about tropical colours. It's about history, about the sheer force of the North Sea, and about a wreck that has truly become part of the seabed. We love how atmospheric it is down there, often with a moody green light filtering through, highlighting the twisted metal. The *Georgina* was a trawler, sunk in 1917 after hitting a mine, and she lies broken but substantial. You can trace her lines, picking out the boiler, parts of the engine, and sections of her hull. This isn't a wreck you penetrate easily, but rather one you explore externally, finning over the debris field. Look closely and you’ll find plenty of life: curious conger eels peeking from crevices, squat lobsters clinging to the structure, and the ever-present shoals of coalfish darting through the gloom. It’s a dive for those who appreciate colder water, a bit of a current, and the story a wreck tells. We'd suggest checking the tides; slack water makes for a far more enjoyable dive here.
