NORTH SEA (PROBABLY)

The *North Sea (Probably)* isn't your average lump of metal on the seabed. This 82-meter steamship, down since 1917, is a proper expedition dive at 54 meters. We love the sheer scale of it, and the way the superstructure still hints at its former life. You'll drop onto the deck, often in decent visibility for this part of the world, and immediately pick out the two huge boilers, a real focal point. Exploring the engine room is a highlight. The triple-expansion engine is still largely intact, a testament to its robust construction. Look for conger eels here, they’re often quite large and territorial. Our favourite part is following the cargo holds forward, where squat lobsters and crabs pick their way across the plates. The wreck attracts schooling pollack and often a few inquisitive dogfish patrol the edges. It’s a dive for experienced deep divers comfortable with deco, offering a real sense of history and some excellent temperate water marine life.
