ROMEO - Northumberland & Northeast

The *Romeo* is a substantial steel steamship, a freighter sunk by a U-boat in 1918. Lying at 46 meters, this is a dive for experienced wreck enthusiasts, often meaning trimix is on the cards given the depth and likely North Sea conditions. We’ve found her to be quite broken up midships, but the bow and stern sections remain more intact, offering some interesting penetration if you’re properly trained and equipped. Look for the large propeller standing proud, usually a good spot to find conger eels and ling tucked away. Visibility here can be a bit of a lottery, typical for the Northeast, but when it’s good, the sheer scale of the wreck is impressive.
