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) - TEWA offers some of Scottish West Coast's richest wreck diving.
The TEWA is a small dive support craft, sunk in 1986 off the Scottish West Coast. It’s a quick dive, down to 30 metres, the whole thing only 9.1 metres long. We’ve found her sitting upright, largely intact, and she’s become a bit of an artificial reef. You’ll see plenty of wrasse darting in and out, and the usual suspects of the Scottish seabed – anemones and hydroids coating the metalwork. It’s a good little wreck for newer divers looking to get their teeth into something a bit more substantial than rocks, or as a second dive when you're looking for something relatively shallow.
