RHYL

The Rhyl, a steamship lost in 1900, sits upright at 16 metres, making it a decent introductory wreck for North East diving. We’ve found her superstructure still largely intact, offering swim-throughs into the cargo holds – though watch your buoyancy in there, it’s a siltier environment than you might expect. Expect to share the space with plenty of cod and pollock darting through the ironwork, and sometimes a few lobsters tucked away in the darker corners. It's a solid dive for those looking to experience some local history and get comfortable with wreck penetration, without the strong currents sometimes found further north.
