Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including seals & sea lions, sea turtles and jellyfish lake - GRETHE KLITGARD offers some of North Sea Coast's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-19°C, warmest July, August, September.
The *Grethe Klitgard* sits upright on the seabed, a fishing vessel that went down relatively recently, in 1999. We love how intact she is, especially for a North Sea wreck. Dropping down, you’ll usually feel that characteristic cool embrace of the North Sea, often with a slight chill even in summer. The stern section is particularly good, the propeller still there, large and imposing. Deck structures offer plenty of swim-throughs, not tight squeezes, but proper penetrations for those with the right training. Keep an eye out for plump cod tucked into shadowy corners and wrasse darting through the wheelhouse windows. Visibility can be a bit of a lottery here, so we always check the forecasts carefully – slack water and a rising tide usually give the best conditions. It's a proper wreck dive, satisfying for those who appreciate seeing a vessel still looking like a vessel, rather than just scattered debris.
