CZAROWITZ - Northumberland & Northeast

The Czarowitz is pure Northumberland wreck diving, perfect for when you want a shallow, relaxed potter. She's a sailing vessel, sunk back in 1890, and what’s left of her sits in around 9m. We particularly love how her timber hull has broken down, leaving behind a series of ribs and structural elements that create a fantastic maze for exploration. You can spend a good chunk of a dive weaving in and out, imagining the sailing days. Because she’s so shallow, light penetration is usually excellent, even on a cloudier day. That means the colours of the kelp and anemones are often brilliant, a real change from some of the deeper, murkier sites. We’ve had some fantastic encounters here with curious wrasse darting between the timbers, and it's a great spot for spotting crabs tucked away in crevices. Sometimes you'll even see a small lobster or two peeking out. It's not a site for big pelagics, but for intimate wreck exploration and some solid temperate marine life, the Czarowitz is a firm favourite. It's ideal for newer wreck divers or anyone looking for a chilled-out dive without the pressure of depth or strong currents.
