North East Diving


SS Fingal

The S.S. Fingal was a fast cargo / passenger liner belonging to the London & Edingburgh Shipping Co. We discovered the wreck in 2005 & a team of local rebreather divers dived on & positively identified the wreck.

It is standing upright in 62 metres of water & is in excellent condition standing 7 metres high in places.

Plans of the vessel are on hand & dives can be moticulously planned down to the last detail, because of the depth this remains a dive for mixed gas divers.

Lafonia

Another cargo/passenger liner. This vessel was owned by the Falkland Islands Shipping Co. & this very substantial wreck

lies in 50 metres of water.

   This is an exceptional dive & can be managed on air as the wreck stands some 8 metres high.

   Again plans of the vessel are available for pre-dive scrutiny.

 

 

 

Trident ?

A very large wreck of some 100 metres in length. She lies in 48 metres & is very substantial with the mast still standing.

   Thought to be the merchant ship Trident but still not positively identified. 

S.S.Svava.

At 54M. the Svava is still one of the most popular dives amongst local techy

divers. In summer months the viz is spectacular & lots of trinkets keep on

turning up. (Gold pocket watch found by lucky Kevin)
