Glanmire is a combined wreck and reef site located 300 metres offshore within the St Abbs Marine Reserve. The site features depths ranging from 20 to 37 metres, with an average depth of 30 metres. Divers encounter strong currents, necessitating careful planning around slack water and tidal windows. Visibility typically fluctuates between 5 and 15 metres. Due to the overhead environment within the wreck, entanglement risks, and cold water temperatures between 7 and 12 degrees Celsius, this site is suited for intermediate divers. A drysuit is recommended for thermal protection. Boat access is required, and divers should remain close to the vessel during descent.
