Ilios - Northumberland & Northeast

The Ilios is a wreck dive off the Northumberland coast. We've found it offers a good training ground for those new to temperate wreck diving, with generally manageable currents. Visibility here can vary a lot, from a few metres to over 10m on a good day, so pick your conditions. You'll likely encounter cod, wrasse, and perhaps a curious seal on your descent.
