Wreck of Snowflake - Scottish East Coast & Borders

The Wreck of Snowflake isn't your average lump of metal on the seabed. This is a properly moody dive, fitting for the Scottish East Coast. She sits upright, pretty intact, and despite the typically low visibility, there’s a real sense of adventure exploring her. We love nosing around the superstructure, imagining the ship in her working days, now home to armies of squat lobsters and the occasional curious cod. It’s a dive for those who appreciate history as much as marine life, and who don’t mind a bit of a challenge. You'll spend your bottom time navigating through shadowy corridors, feeling the chill of the North Sea, and searching for the glint of a conger eel peeking from a dark corner. The stern is a particularly atmospheric spot, often shrouded in a green haze, with sea anemones clinging to every surface. Our favourite time to dive her is on a slack tide, naturally, but if you can catch it after a few days of calm weather, the visibility can actually be quite rewarding. This isn't a dive for beginners, but if you're comfortable with limited visibility and have a good sense of navigation, Snowflake offers a genuinely immersive wreck experience.
