CARLO - Northumberland & Northeast

The CARLO is a pretty compact wreck, a fishing vessel that went down in 1988 after a fire. Sitting at 20 meters, it's a solid dive for those comfortable with temperate waters and a bit of chill. We found the wreck offers a good chance to poke around, with plenty of openings to peer into where crabs and lobsters like to hide. It's a proper British wreck dive, honestly, with decent visibility on a good day and the usual suspects – wrasse, blennies, and sometimes a curious seal pup if you're lucky – making it their home. The CARLO suits divers who appreciate a bit of history and don't mind a darker environment, looking for something beyond coral gardens.
