Why dive here
With 118+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - TIDE offers some of Northumberland & Northeast's richest wreck diving.
The TIDE, a carrier vessel sunk in 1973, rests upright at 25 metres, making it a good North Sea wreck for a deep dive. Built in 1952, her 48-metre length offers decent penetration for experienced divers, especially into the holds and engine room, if you’re comfortable with overhead environments. The exposed metalwork is now a haven for local critters; you’ll often spot crabs tucked into crevices and various fish darting through the structure. It’s a proper dive for those who enjoy a bit of history and don't mind the chillier waters of the Northeast.
