SUNBEAM - Northumberland & Northeast

The Sunbeam, a 30.5-meter iron fishing vessel, offers a surprisingly accessible wreck dive at just 5 meters. Built in 1891, she went down in 1916 and now rests upright, making for an easy exploration. You'll find plenty of resident blennies and gobies tucked into the nooks and crannies of her hull, with small crabs scuttling across the plates. It's a shallow, relaxing dive, ideal for those looking to practice their wreck navigation or just enjoy a leisurely poke around a piece of maritime history without the pressure of depth.
