TAYLEUR
Why dive here
With 118+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - TAYLEUR offers some of Northumberland & Northeast's richest wreck diving.
The *Tayleur* isn't one for the faint of heart, or for those seeking sun-drenched reefs. This iron-hulled sailing vessel, sunk in 1854, lies broken at 11 metres, a sombre reminder of its tragic maiden voyage. What you’ll find here is less about intact structure and more about history and the life that now calls it home. We’ve seen plenty of crabs scuttling over the plates and shoals of small fish darting through the wreckage. It’s a site for divers who appreciate a genuinely atmospheric wreck and don't mind the chillier North Sea embrace.
