MAJA - Northumberland & Northeast

The Maja, an old steamship that went down in 1918, is a proper North Sea wreck dive sitting at 27 metres. She’s broken up quite a bit, but you can still pick out sections of her hull and a good amount of plating scattered across the seabed. We often find conger eels tucked into the larger nooks, and the resident crabs are usually out scuttling around. It's a dive that rewards careful exploration, less about penetration and more about appreciating the history and the marine life that now calls her home. We'd suggest this one for divers comfortable with colder water and decent buoyancy.
