Why dive here
With 118+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - HELEN offers some of Northumberland & Northeast's richest wreck diving.
Helen is a very shallow wreck, sitting at just 4m, making it ideal for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed dive. The remnants are quite broken up, but you can still make out the general shape of the hull. Expect to find plenty of crabs and lobsters tucked into the crevices, along with inquisitive blennies darting amongst the twisted metal. It’s a good spot for a quick explore and an easy second dive.
