The Flint Wreck - Northumberland & Northeast

Dropping onto the Flint, you’re met with a proper North Sea wreck, scattered but still holding a surprising amount of character. It’s not one of those intact ships you swim through, more a collection of steel plates and beams creating interesting nooks. Look closely and you’ll find nudibranchs crawling over the encrusted metal, and a good few crabs peeking out from beneath. It’s a solid dive for those who appreciate history and don't mind a bit of a hunt for the smaller stuff, rather than grand structural exploration.
