DOSINIA (STERN SECTION)

The DOSINIA’s stern section, just a short boat ride from Seahouses, is one of our favourite Northumberland wrecks. At only 12 metres, it’s a brilliant dive for newer wreck enthusiasts or when the weather's being a bit… British. We love how the strong structure of the stern still holds together, hinting at the tanker’s massive scale. You’ll drop onto a surprisingly intact section, often with visibility ranging from 5 to 10 metres, sometimes more if you’re lucky with the tides. Exploring the prop shaft tunnel is a definite highlight, and our pick for the best photo op. Keep an eye out for the resident wolf fish tucked into crevices; they’re often quite curious. The wreck has become a proper haven for critters, with butterfish darting through skeletal girders and robust crabs scuttling over the plates. It’s not a deep dive, but there’s enough here to keep you poking around for a good 45 minutes. We’d suggest timing your dive for slack water, as currents can pick up a bit, making a relaxed explore much more enjoyable. It’s a great introduction to North Sea wreck diving without the usual depth demands.
