Wreck of Mary And Harriot - Scottish East Coast & Borders

Diving the Mary And Harriot is a proper journey into history. This isn't one of those wrecks where you just see a few scattered planks; she’s remarkably intact for her age, a real testament to how cold Scottish waters can preserve a site. We love the way the light filters down, even on a cloudy day, illuminating the silhouette of her masts and rigging still standing proud, albeit encrusted with soft corals and anemones. You’ll spend most of your time exploring her hold, imagining the cargo she once carried, and spotting the resident wrasse darting between the beams. Our favourite part is the stern, where you can often find conger eels peering out from shadowy crevices, watching you with an almost ancient patience. This dive suits those who appreciate maritime history and don’t mind a bit of chill. Just be prepared for variable visibility – it can swing from 15 metres to a murky 5 in a single tide, so pick your day carefully. It's best on a neap tide for minimal current.
