THOMAS & ANNE - Northumberland & Northeast

Okay, let's talk about the Thomas & Anne. This isn't a deep dive, sitting in just 0.2m of water, which makes it less about traditional scuba and more about a snorkel or a very shallow free-dive when conditions are right. What you’re looking at is the remains of a barge, sunk back in 1863, and while it's well-broken now, you can still pick out the ribs and some hull plating. It’s a fascinating spot for history buffs, and we've seen everything from small crabs scuttling amongst the frames to curious flatfish tucked into the sand nearby. Think of it as an accessible piece of maritime history, perfect for a calm day and a keen eye.
