About this dive site
This dive site presents the wreck of the SS Inchkeith, a cargo vessel that sank in March 1955 at the mouth of an inlet near Duncan Island. The ship rests on its starboard side, with readily visible hatches and the cargo hold. A prominent feature is an enormous propeller located at the stern, which remains upright at a depth of 18 meters (60 feet). Visibility tends to be low, contributing to a mysterious atmosphere surrounding the wreck. The structure is encrusted with anemones and corals, providing habitat for solitary giant groupers and occasional great barracuda sightings. Scorpionfish, cleaner shrimp, and patches of soft corals also inhabit this underwater environment.
