Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including seals & sea lions, sea turtles and jellyfish lake - MARIA offers some of North Sea Coast's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-19°C, warmest July, August, September.
The schooner Maria rests at 36 metres, a challenging wreck dive off Denmark's North Sea Coast. We've found it colonised by various marine life, often schooling around the broken superstructure. Strong currents are common here, so this site suits experienced wreck divers comfortable in low visibility and colder water. It's a proper adventure, not a relaxing reef dive.
