TACOMA CITY (SOUTHERN PART) - Northumberland & Northeast

The Tacoma City’s southern part sits upright, quite spread across the seabed at a shallow 13 metres. She was a big steamship, and even after being torpedoed in 1941, her sheer size means there’s still plenty of structure to explore. We’ve found her often populated by shoals of coalfish darting through the broken plating, and the boilers make a good spot to look for conger eels tucked away. While the visibility can be a bit of a lottery in the Northeast, on a calm day, this part of the Tacoma City makes for an accessible wreck dive, especially for those newer to wreck penetration.
