Wreck of Corinth II - Northumberland & Northeast

The Corinth II, a former trawler sunk during a gale in 1981, rests upright and largely intact on a silty seabed, a truly compelling dive if you can catch it on a calm day. We love the way the forward mast still stands tall, often draped in fishing nets, while the wheelhouse offers an accessible swim-through for those comfortable in overhead environments. You’ll find walls thick with dead man's fingers, a surprising splash of orange and white in the often-murky North Sea, and plenty of plumose anemones swaying gently with the surge. Keep an eye out for ling peering from shadowed doorways and the occasional curious seal. This wreck is perfect for experienced temperate water divers who appreciate history and don't mind a bit of a current. We’d suggest diving this one on a neap tide for the best visibility, otherwise, prepare for a true North Sea adventure where the gloom only adds to the atmosphere.
