FAIR MORN - Northumberland & Northeast

The Fair Morn, just off the Northumberland coast, is one of our absolute favourite shallow wrecks for a relaxed dive. Forget deep tech or strong currents, this is pure fun. She was a trawler, a good 19 metres long, and she ran aground back in '61. Today, she's spread across the seabed in about 5 metres of water, perfect for extended bottom times and really getting to know the site. You'll find her quite broken up, but the structure that remains creates a fantastic habitat. We love poking around the twisted metal, finding crabs tucked into every nook and cranny. Look closely, and you'll spot nudibranchs, often some vibrant colours, grazing on the kelp that sways with the gentle surge. Visibility here can be a bit variable, but on a good day, with the sun filtering through the green water, it’s quite magical watching the small schools of coalfish dart through the wreckage. It’s an ideal spot for newer divers, or anyone who just wants a straightforward, interesting bimble without any fuss. Grab a torch, even in the shallows, to really bring out the colours and peer into the darker corners.
