About Inchkeith Wreck

Inchkeith Wreck is a Havelock wreck dive where the SS Inchkeith rests near Duncan Island and rewards slow, careful passes over a shallow-to-mid-depth structure. The site is known for low visibility, a clear bow-to-stern layout, and plenty of fish life and coral growth around the hull and stern propeller. It is a boat dive for certified divers, and a torch plus steady buoyancy make the wreck easier to read.
