CLAREMORRIS - Northumberland & Northeast

The Claremorris is a different kind of wreck dive, and we love it for that. She sits in about three metres of water, often less at low tide, making it a fantastic shallow exploration. We’ve been out when the sun hits the water just right, illuminating the broken hull plates and the remains of her single boiler – it’s a surprisingly evocative scene for such a shallow wreck. You’re really just poking around the skeleton of the vessel here. The triple expansion engine is long gone, but the boiler is still the star, a big, encrusted cylinder that’s become home to all sorts of critters. We often find shore crabs scuttling over the plates, butterfish darting between the crevices, and sometimes even a small conger eel tucked away. The Claremorris is perfect for a relaxed dive, a long snorkel, or even just exploring at extreme low tide. It’s an easy one to get to know.
