Why dive here
With 118+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - BRAEGLEN offers some of Northumberland & Northeast's richest wreck diving.
The Braeglen is a solid dive, a steamship that went down in 1918. Lying at 36 metres, it’s a site for more experienced divers. The stern is often the most intact section, offering a good starting point for exploration. We’ve found plenty of lobsters tucked into crevices, and sometimes you’ll spot a wolfish patrolling the deeper sections. Visibility can be a challenge here, often requiring a bit of a search to locate the wreck itself, but when it clears, the structure stands out nicely from the seabed. It’s a proper piece of history down there.
