The Enda, a Swedish steamship that went down in 1918, is one of those wrecks we keep coming back to off the Northumberland coast. It's not a pristine, intact ship by any stretch, but the way it's broken up makes for some truly interesting diving. You’ll find her spread across the seabed, with sections of the hull, boilers, and machinery creating nooks and crannies that are just bursting with life. We always find conger eels tucked into the darker spaces, peering out, and the crabs here are enormous, scuttling amongst the metal plates. Visibility can be a bit of a gamble, as it often is up here, but on a good day, with the sun pushing through, the light catches the kelp draped over the wreckage, giving it a really atmospheric feel. It’s a dive that suits those who appreciate a bit of history and don't mind rooting around to see what secrets the wreck holds. We’d suggest timing your dive for slack water to really make the most of exploring the scattered debris field.
