    The *Seamew*, a fishing vessel that went down in 1999, sits upright at 24 metres. It’s a respectable dive, especially on a day with decent visibility, which can be hit or miss in the North Sea. We’ve found plenty of lobsters tucked into the nooks and crannies of the deck, and sometimes the odd anglerfish camouflaged against the seabed nearby. The wheelhouse is still largely intact, offering a nice swim-through for those comfortable in overhead environments. It's a solid choice for advanced open water divers looking for a bit of wreck penetration without going too deep.
