Why dive here
With 118+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - SILVER CREST offers some of Northumberland & Northeast's richest wreck diving.
The Silver Crest wreck sits upright on the seabed at 23 meters, making it a solid recreational dive. This fishing vessel is fairly intact, giving you a chance to explore its structure, from the wheelhouse down to the holds. We’ve found plenty of resident cod, wrasse, and crabs here, making homes out of the nooks and crannies. It’s a good spot for divers comfortable with UK waters and those keen on seeing how the sea reclaims what’s lost.
