Yorkshire and Lincolnshire plus the Humber approaches have more wrecks in sensible depths than any coast in the UK. (Fishing trade, coal trade, 2 World Wars, upredictable and often awful weather). See Admiralty Charts 107, 109, 108 etc if you're not sure.
The problem is access and conditions amenable to diving are not readly predictable. the weather is fickle, launching can be problematic, surface sea state can be horrendous, and underwater visibiity and currents may be atrocious. But if you study and observe these variables and work it out, then you can attain the best diving in the UK. Undived wrecks in less than 30 metres, shoals of Crustaceans and fish life, non ferrous artefacts galore, visibility from zero to 20 metres and the Bonhomme Richard (not in Filey Bay as supposed). It takes a lot of local knowledge and years of study, many disappointments and lots of camaraderie and fun. |
