Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including seals & sea lions, sea turtles and jellyfish lake - ELISE offers some of North Sea Coast's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-19°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Elise wreck lies in shallow water off the North Sea coast, sitting at just 10 metres. While classified as dangerous, we find it’s more about a specific kind of diving: shallow wreck exploration. Expect a broken-up hull, though plenty of structure remains for investigation, and it’s home to cod and crabs. This site is a solid choice for newer wreck divers or those looking for a relaxed dive in calmer conditions, with visibility often dictating the quality of the experience.
