Wreck of Sturgeon
Protected Area
Loch of Inch and Torrs Warren
Why dive here
With 118+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas - Wreck of Sturgeon offers some of Northumberland & Northeast's richest wreck diving.
Dropping onto the Sturgeon is a proper dive into history off the Northumberland coast. We’ve found her usually sitting upright, often with an incredible amount of intact superstructure for a wreck of her age. Keep an eye out for the resident wolfish tucked into crevices and the nudibranchs that pepper the metalwork – always a good photo opportunity if the visibility plays ball. It's a solid dive for anyone comfortable with slightly cooler water and keen to explore a well-preserved wreck.
