Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - Wreck of Two Brothers offers some of Scottish East Coast & Borders's richest wreck diving.
We've spent a fair few hours diving the Scottish coast, and the Wreck of Two Brothers is one we keep coming back to. It’s not just another pile of metal; this wreck has a real personality. Drop down, and you’ll find yourself navigating through ribs of rusted steel, with schools of coalfish often swirling around the intact bow section, darting in and out of the gloom. We love the way the light filters through the gaps in the superstructure on a good day, illuminating the jewel anemones that plaster the bulkheads in reds and oranges. It’s an atmospheric dive, especially when the visibility is decent, giving you a proper sense of the ship’s scale. Exploring the engine room, if you're comfortable with a bit of penetration, is our favourite part; just watch out for loose cables. This site really suits divers who appreciate history and enjoy the challenge of a colder water wreck. You'll want a drysuit, of course, and a good torch to really appreciate the colours. Keep an eye out for conger eels tucked into the darker corners – they're always a thrill. We'd suggest aiming for slack water to get the most out of your bottom time here, as currents can pick up.
Safety Notes
Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
