Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including seals & sea lions, sea turtles and jellyfish lake - JOSSE offers some of North Sea Coast's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-19°C, warmest July, August, September.
Josse isn’t your typical deep dive. This is a shallow exploration, a fishing vessel sunk in 1944. Its classification as a "Dangerous wreck" by Danish records is a stark reminder of its history, and frankly, its state. At only a metre deep, it’s more of a snorkel or free-diving expedition, especially good for a calm day. You’ll find the remains spread across the seabed, a low-profile scatter of history that’s become home to various small critters. We’d suggest focusing on the historical aspect here, imagining the day it went down. It’s a unique site for those who appreciate wrecks, even fragmented ones, and don't mind staying close to the surface.
