The Hare (Probably) is a deep, moody wreck that really encapsulates what we love about diving Northumberland. Dropping onto her decks at 58 metres, there's a real sense of history. You’re not just looking at a pile of metal; you’re exploring a steamship that went down in 1917, a vessel that once plied the waters between Manchester and Dunkirk. Visibility can be a proper challenge here, often 5-8 metres, but that just adds to the atmosphere. We’ve found the bow section particularly evocative, with the anchor chains still visible and a real sense of her shape. The single boiler is a sturdy landmark, a home for conger eels, and you'll often see shoals of pollack hanging above the main deck, their scales glinting in the torchlight. This isn't a dive for the faint of heart, it’s for experienced technical divers who appreciate a genuinely challenging, historical wreck. It’s cold, it’s deep, and it’s dark, but when you surface, you feel like you’ve been somewhere truly special. Our pick for a full deep tech experience.
