YEWS - Northumberland & Northeast

The Yews is a proper technical dive, sitting at 53 metres, so it’s one for the experienced trimix crowd. This steamship, sunk in 1910, is still largely intact, a testament to its solid build back in 1905. We’ve found the bow and stern sections quite well-preserved, with the midships showing the most damage, likely from the impact. Look for the engine and boiler, which are still recognisable, often shrouded in a cloud of small, curious cod and wrasse. It’s a dark site, even on a sunny day, but the challenge is part of the appeal, and the structure itself is an impressive sight for those capable of reaching it.
