Still super excited about the shipwrecks on our coast app from ExploreSeaScapes! So many shipwrecks to explore!! Amazing team work, particularly Clare Fitzsimmons and Peter Almond! Go on and get out there for a walk today!!! NCL Marine Sciences at Newcastle NCL Dove Marine Lab

Great news!

Our FREE SeaScapes Coastal App is now LIVE & available on the AppStore.

The app will ping at key locations along the coast & provide interesting info on the place you're at AND locations of ship wrecks will provide info on the hidden heritage beneath the waves.

Dove tank back in action…..see if you can spot the divers 🤿

What should we name the divers?
