ROWAN - Northumberland & Northeast

The Rowan is a big old steamship, sunk in 1921, lying deep at 51 metres. She's a good one for technical divers looking for a substantial wreck in the North Sea. We've found the triple expansion engine and four boilers are still very much in place, which makes for some great exploration. The low visibility here means carrying a good torch is essential, and you'll often see conger eels poking their heads out from inside the darker sections of the wreck, along with plenty of resident wrasse darting around the superstructure. It's a proper wreck dive, dark and moody, best tackled on a calm day.
