Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including seals & sea lions, sea turtles and jellyfish lake - LAURA offers some of North Sea Coast's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-19°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Laura wreck sits at 21 metres, a dangerous but rewarding dive for those comfortable with North Sea conditions. You’ll find the wreck broken, with sections scattered across the seabed, each piece now home to a range of crabs and small fish. It’s a dive that rewards careful exploration, suited for divers with good buoyancy and an appreciation for history found beneath the waves.
