The Moray Firth is a largely unknown but potentially exciting diving area with at times excellent underwater visibility. There are over 100 known wrecks in the Firth. Off Burghead there is reputed to be a U-Boat, but to date this has not been found. There is also the wreck of a Wellington Bomber, the submarine 'Tantivy' and the fishing vessel 'Chrissie Criggle' During the last war five tanks were swamped and subsequently sank while practising for the Normandy Landings of the 1939/45 war on the beaches to the west of Burghead. Only one has ever been found. Inverness BSAC (British Sub-Aqua Club) will be pleased to give you further details on these and other dive sites in the locality. Marineland Leisure Centre in Findhorn provides excellent equipment and advice
