Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including seals & sea lions, sea turtles and jellyfish lake - LIBRA offers some of North Sea Coast's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-19°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Libra, a motor vessel that capsized and sank in a gale back in 1984, sits at 21 metres on the North Sea coast. We find her lying on her side, a significant portion of her hull exposed and offering plenty to explore. Visibility here can be a bit of a gamble, often dictated by the North Sea's temperament, but when it clears, you'll see how the wreck has become a habitat for local fish species. It's a dive that rewards those with an appreciation for maritime history and don't mind a bit of a challenge, especially when there's a current running.
