ARGO - Northumberland & Northeast

The Argo offers a solid wreck dive off the Northumberland coast. This steamship, sunk in 1905, sits upright in about 12 meters of water. We often find the visibility here can be a bit hit or miss, typical for the North Sea, but when it’s good, the wreck reveals its structure nicely. You can trace the outline of her 57-meter hull, and the single boiler is quite prominent. It’s a site that's been well-colonised by local marine life; we regularly see crabs tucked into crevices and small schools of fish hovering over the deck plates. A good spot for divers looking for a straightforward wreck dive without extreme depth or current.
