SCATHROS - Northumberland & Northeast

The Scathros, a wooden fishing vessel, sits in 19 metres of water, having sunk after a collision back in 2005. At only 10 metres long, it's a compact dive, perfect for divers looking for a relaxed exploration. We've found the wreck provides a really good home for local marine life – expect to see plenty of wrasse darting around the timbers and even some blennies peeking from crevices. It’s a nice option for a second dive or if you’re keen to practise wreck penetration on something smaller and less intimidating.
