Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including seals & sea lions, sea turtles and jellyfish lake - HELENE B SCHUPP offers some of North Sea Coast's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-19°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Helene B Schupp wreck off Denmark's North Sea coast is one of our favourites for a proper deep dive, a real sense of adventure. She went down in 1959, and while the official records call her ‘non-dangerous’, we find there’s a quiet drama to her at 34 metres. Descending, the water can be green, a deep emerald that slowly resolves into the ghostly outline of the stern, then the bow. We love how intact she still feels, the deck structures slumped but still recognisable, a huge cargo hold open to explore. You’ll find cod and ling patrolling the shadows inside, sometimes a fat conger eel staring out from a porthole. It’s a dive for those who appreciate the silence and the history, not just the colourful fish. We’d suggest going on a slack tide, if you can time it right, to really take in the scale without battling the current. The visibility varies, but even on a greener day, the wreck looms with a powerful presence.
