SS Dakota Wreck
Protected Area
North Anglesey Coast
Why dive here
With 118+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - SS Dakota Wreck offers some of Northumberland & Northeast's richest wreck diving.
The SS Dakota, resting off the Northumberland coast, offers a proper North Sea wreck dive. It’s a good size, broken but still largely intact, giving you plenty to explore across its structure. Schools of coalfish often swirl around the bow, and we’ve spotted some hefty conger eels tucked into the deeper recesses. The conditions here can be changeable, so pick a calm day for the best visibility, but even with a bit of chop, it’s a rewarding dive for those who appreciate a solid piece of maritime history.
