Wreck of Lark - Scottish East Coast & Borders

Diving a wreck on Scotland's East Coast is always a bit of a gamble, but the *Lark* pays off more often than not. We love the way she sits, broken but still substantial, with enough to explore to keep you busy without feeling overwhelming. Drop down, and the first thing you notice is the sheer volume of life that's made her home: nudibranchs are everywhere, often chunky ones, crawling over the plates, and the resident conger eels are usually pretty visible, tucked into the darker crevices. This isn't a deep dive, usually around 20-25 metres depending on the tide, which gives you good bottom time to really poke around her fragmented bow and stern sections. Our favourite part is threading through the smaller debris field just off the main hull, where you often find wolf fish lurking. Visibility here can swing wildly, from a glorious 10 metres to a silty 2, so pick your weather window carefully; we’d suggest aiming for slack water on a neap tide for the best shot at a clear dive. It's a proper British wreck dive: a bit dark, a bit silty, but utterly compelling for anyone who appreciates a piece of history reclaimed by the sea.
