CORK - Northumberland & Northeast

The CORK, a steamship torpedoed in 1918, lies upright at 43 metres, making it a proper deep dive for those with the training. Dropping onto the deck, you’ll find the bow and stern still largely intact, a testament to its solid build. We’ve found good penetration opportunities into the holds if you're qualified and the conditions are right, revealing the ship's internal structure. Expect to see plenty of wrasse darting between the metalwork and, if you’re lucky, a conger eel peeking from a dark crevice. It's a challenging but rewarding dive, particularly for wreck enthusiasts who appreciate a piece of maritime history.
