TOWN OF WEXFORD (POSSIBLY) - Northumberland & Northeast

The *Town of Wexford*, or what we think is the *Town of Wexford*, offers something really unique for Northeast diving. It’s a shallow wreck, just 3 metres deep, which means you can spend ages down there, just exploring. We love how the light plays on the iron frames, especially on a sunny day. It’s less about big fish and more about the delicate ecosystem that’s taken over – anemones clinging to every rivet, tiny crabs scuttling in the shadows, and we’ve often spotted blennies peeking out from behind the plates. It’s an ideal site for new wreck divers, or those looking to refine their buoyancy without the pressure of depth. We’d suggest timing your dive with slack water, just to make finning around the scattered remains a bit easier. You can still make out the general shape of the hull, and it’s a tangible piece of history sitting right there. It’s easy to get lost in the details, imagining the ship’s final moments.
