TARBERT - Northumberland & Northeast

The Tarbert, a steamship that went down in 1919, lies in a shallow spot off the Northumberland coast. At just 3 metres, it’s a brilliant site for newer wreck divers or anyone looking for a relaxed bimble with plenty of bottom time. The stern section is the most intact, with plates, ribs, and frames creating sheltered nooks. We’ve found crabs tucked into every crevice and small pollock darting between the decaying structure. Visibility here can be a bit variable, so pick a calm day with a rising tide for the clearest views.
