Called the Royal Archer, it lies five miles south-east of Kirkcaldy, off the Fife coast, having sunk after hitting a mine in 1940. The stern area is the most intact part of the wreck, with its companionways covered in plumose anemones and hand-rails still remaining. So, if you like the sound of diving wrecks in the much under-dived Firth of Forth, these two sisters make a very good pair with which to start. For Dunbar, take A1 from Edinburgh. You can launch RIBs and hire local boats in Anstruther, Pittenweem and Dunbar.
Weather conditions can deteriorate quickly and the area is prone to rapidly developing fog.
Avoid the trawl net on the wreck. Brass port-holes and intact superstructure. You can view the whole of the wreck in one dive. The diving is usually in darkness, and the vessel lies half-buried on its side.
