DARLINGTON - North Shore

The Darlington is one of our favourite North Shore wrecks. It’s a steamship, sunk way back in 1886, and sits in just 5 metres of water. We love a shallow wreck, especially one that’s been down a while. You get fantastic light penetration, making the whole site feel alive. What we especially enjoy here are the huge boilers, still pretty intact, and the stern section. You can fin around them easily, spotting big parrotfish munching on the coral growth. Schools of grunts often hang out in the shadows, shimmering as you approach. It’s a fantastic spot for photographers, or anyone who enjoys a relaxed dive with a real sense of history. Visibility can be epic on a calm day, giving you wide views of the entire wreck, but even with a bit of chop, it's a very rewarding dive.
