Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue whales, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales and ocean sunfish (mola mola) - RIVER TAY offers some of Scottish West Coast's richest wreck diving.
The River Tay, a fishing vessel sunk in 1943, lies in the Scottish West Coast, a shallower dive at around 10 meters. We find her mostly intact, offering a good rummage around the engine room and the single boiler. The hull provides plenty of cover for squat lobsters and the occasional dogfish, while the deck planks host a decent collection of plumose anemones. It's a solid choice for those looking for an accessible wreck with a bit of history to it.
