EMPIRE TANA - Northumberland & Northeast

The Empire Tana, a steamship scuttled in 1941, rests in very shallow water, making it a good choice for newer wreck divers or those looking for a longer bottom time. At only 5 metres, it’s a site where you can take your time exploring the collapsed remains of the hull and superstructure. We've found the wreck provides plenty of nooks and crannies for crabs and lobsters, and the skeletal framework often hosts shoals of coalfish. It’s a site that rewards careful searching rather than grand vistas. Expect a cool temperate dive, even in summer.
