Kimya
Protected Area
Aberffraw Bay
Why dive here
With 118+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - Kimya offers some of Northumberland & Northeast's richest wreck diving.
The Kimya, an old trawler, rests on its starboard side, making for an interesting explore if you're comfortable with a bit of a lean. We usually find decent visibility here, letting you pick out the details of the wheelhouse and engine room quite easily. Look for the lobsters tucked into every crevice and the wrasse darting in and out of the rusted metal. It’s a good option for divers looking for a straightforward wreck dive, especially if you’re keen on seeing how marine life reclaims these structures.
Safety Notes
Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
