Why dive here
With 118+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - TENBY CASTLE offers some of Northumberland & Northeast's richest wreck diving.
The *Tenby Castle* makes for an intriguing shallow wreck dive in Northumberland. At only six metres, it’s an easy, relaxed exploration, perfect for a second dive or if you're keen to spend longer enjoying the details. We found its iron hull, built back in 1868, still holds its shape surprisingly well, with ribs and plating scattered across the seabed. Look for the resident wrasse darting between the broken sections and the sea slugs clinging to the encrusted ironwork; the light penetration here often picks out their colours beautifully. It's an accessible piece of history, just remember to check the local tides for the calmest conditions.
