Why dive here
With 118+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - FENELLA ANN offers some of Northumberland & Northeast's richest wreck diving.
The *Fenella Ann* isn’t a grand liner, it’s a working boat, and that’s precisely what we love about her. This wooden dredger went down in 2002, striking a rock off the Calf of Man, and now rests upright at 35 metres. Dropping down, you’ll find her relatively intact, though nature is steadily reclaiming her. We often spend our bottom time exploring the holds, imagining the last moments of her working life. The visibility here can be temperamental, as is often the case in the North Sea, but when it’s good, the light plays beautifully through the superstructure. Look for the resident lobsters tucked into every crevice; they’re enormous. We’ve also spotted conger eels winding through the decking. This site is definitely one for experienced divers comfortable with deeper wrecks and variable conditions. It’s a proper piece of maritime history, not a manufactured attraction, and that’s why it’s our pick for a rewarding deep dive in the Northeast.
