Wreck of Inch Keith - Scottish East Coast & Borders

There’s something about a Scottish wreck, isn’t there? The Inch Keith, sitting off the coast, is a truly moody dive. We’ve always found it a bit of a challenge, in the best possible way. The visibility here can be… *characterful*, let’s say, often settling around 5 to 8 metres, but on a good day, when the light penetrates, it’s a stunner. We love exploring the remains of the hull, the way the metal has twisted and buckled into these dramatic shapes. It’s not a deep dive, which makes bottom time generous, and we often find ourselves lingering over some of the smaller details. Keep an eye out for the resident wrasse and crab scuttling amongst the wreckage. They're masters of camouflage and blend right into the barnacle-encrusted steel. This is definitely a dive for those who appreciate history and don't mind a bit of a hunt; it really rewards patient exploration. It's a proper British wreck dive, rugged and atmospheric.
