NEOTSFIELD

The Neotsfield, off the Northumberland coast, is one of those wrecks that really gets under your skin. We love it because it’s big, intact, and feels properly historic down there. Dropping onto the deck at 44 metres, you’re greeted by a sheer wall of steel, often shrouded in a green glow that gives it a wonderfully eerie feel. Our favourite part is pushing into the engine room, where the triple-expansion engine still stands proud – a monumental piece of machinery, encrusted in dead man's fingers and anemones. The current can be fierce, so pick your slack water window carefully; it’s a dive for experienced deep wreck enthusiasts who appreciate a bit of a challenge. You’ll find plenty of inquisitive bib and cod darting through the superstructure, and we’ve often spotted large conger eels peeking out from the darker recesses. It's a proper adventure, a deep plunge into a piece of maritime history that feels preserved, not just broken.
