Why dive here
With 118+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - The Glendun Wreck offers some of Northumberland & Northeast's richest wreck diving.
The Glendun wreck sits upright and largely intact, a testament to the North Sea’s cold embrace. We found its holds particularly interesting, often sheltering inquisitive lobsters and the occasional playful seal, which always adds a bit of excitement to the dive. The superstructure provides good shelter for schooling pollack, and the deck plating is a carpet of dead man's fingers and colourful anemones. It’s a solid dive for those who appreciate a good metal wreck and don't mind the chillier UK waters, best tackled by divers with some temperate diving experience under their belt.
