Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including seals & sea lions, sea turtles and jellyfish lake - ELSE offers some of North Sea Coast's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-19°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Else wreck, sitting at 26 meters off the North Sea Coast, is a fishing vessel that offers a solid dive for those who appreciate a bit of history beneath the waves. She's seen better days, classified as a dangerous wreck, but that just adds to the character. You'll find the hull largely intact, providing plenty of nooks and crannies where cod and conger eels often hide, making their home in the rusted metal. We'd suggest this dive for experienced wreck divers comfortable with colder water and perhaps a touch of low visibility, as conditions can vary up here. It's a proper North Sea wreck dive, a bit rugged, but rewarding for it.
