Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including seals & sea lions, sea turtles and jellyfish lake - ALEX offers some of North Sea Coast's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-19°C, warmest July, August, September.
The schooner *Alex* sits upright at 15 metres, a well-preserved piece of maritime history off Denmark's North Sea coast. Sunk in 1906, she’s now well-colonised by life, a testament to how quickly the ocean reclaims its own. We’ve found her timbers draped in dead man's fingers and anemones, with schools of cod and pollock often circling the mast. It's a proper wreck dive, best suited for those comfortable navigating penetration in low visibility, especially on a day with a bit of a current. Expect an atmospheric dive, a real journey back in time.
