Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including seals & sea lions, sea turtles and jellyfish lake - HEMIA offers some of North Sea Coast's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-19°C, warmest July, August, September.
The *Hemia* is a steamship, sunk in 1944, and she’s a proper wreck dive off the North Sea Coast. Sitting at 23 meters, it’s a dive that needs a bit of experience, especially considering the North Sea’s often-chilly embrace and potential currents. We've found the hull still largely intact, with interesting penetration points for properly trained divers. Look closely and you’ll spot crab, lobster, and various small fish using the wreck's nooks and crannies for shelter. It's a great spot for wreck enthusiasts who appreciate a historical vessel and the hardy marine life that calls it home.
