Wreck of Jeremiah - Northumberland & Northeast
The Jeremiah wreck is pure history, submerged. Forget your tropical blues here, this is proper UK diving, and we love it for its moody atmosphere. It’s a deep dive, usually around 28-30 metres, so you’ll want to be comfortable with your buoyancy and a bit of chill. The visibility can vary quite a bit, but on a good day, when the light penetrates, the sheer scale of the wreck is incredible. She's broken up now, but the stern section is still largely intact, with massive boilers looming out of the gloom. We always find ourselves drawn to the prop shaft alley, a fantastic swim-through if you’re careful with your fins. Conger eels are practically residents here, peering out from every nook and cranny, and the deck plating is thick with anemones and dead man’s fingers. This isn’t a site for beginners; it’s for divers who appreciate the character of cold-water wrecks and the hardy life that makes them home. You'll want to dive it on a slack tide, otherwise, you'll be battling a pretty strong current. It’s a rewarding dive, well worth the effort.
