ANT - Northumberland & Northeast

Diving the ANT, you’re looking at a piece of history resting on the seabed off Northumberland. This isn't a massive metal hulk, but a wooden sailing jigger, sunk back in 1907 after a collision. What remains is a scatter of timbers, some still holding their shape, giving you a real sense of its past as a working vessel. We’ve found conger eels tucked into the larger sections, and the framework provides a nice habitat for crabs and various small fish. It’s a good dive for those interested in wreck archaeology, especially if you appreciate the subtler beauty of a wooden wreck becoming part of the reef.
