SEAMEW - Northumberland & Northeast

The *Seamew* sits in a modest 13 metres, making it a good wreck dive for a decent bottom time without feeling rushed. This old fishing vessel, sunk back in '99, has settled nicely, and her 18.6m length means there's enough structure to nose around without getting lost. We usually find schools of coalfish darting through the superstructure, and the occasional crab peeking out from under a plate. It’s a solid dive for those who enjoy wreck penetration on a smaller scale, or just want to spend some time watching the local critters make a home out of her.
