Why dive here
With 118+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - JURA offers some of Northumberland & Northeast's richest wreck diving.
The *Jura* sits flat on the seabed, quite broken up now, but still a solid dive for those exploring Northumberland’s colder waters. We usually find her in about four metres, making it a good, shallow second dive or a relaxed dip if you're keen to extend your bottom time. What remains of the hull forms ledges and crevices, perfect homes for crabs and lobsters, and we’ve seen some decent schools of cod milling about the wreckage. She’s a decent introductory wreck, and while not a vast exploration, it’s a good spot to hone your wreck diving skills without significant depth pressures.
