Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including seals & sea lions, sea turtles and jellyfish lake - GOYA offers some of North Sea Coast's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-19°C, warmest July, August, September.
The GOYA, a roll-on/roll-off vessel, sits at 21 metres off the North Sea Coast, a good option if you’re into wrecks. She went down in 1995 after hitting a fixed light and taking on water. At 88 metres long, there's plenty of structure to explore, the sheer scale of it is what gets you. We usually find crabs and small schooling fish have made the wreck their home, a common sight on many of these older vessels. Visibility can be a bit hit or miss, typical for the area, so pick your day carefully, but when it’s good, the sheer presence of the GOYA makes for an interesting dive.
