METEOR
Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including seals & sea lions, sea turtles and jellyfish lake - METEOR offers some of North Sea Coast's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-19°C, warmest July, August, September.
The *Meteor* is one of those wrecks that just gets under your skin. We love the history here, scuttled by her own crew back in 1915, rather than captured by the British. Dropping down to 38 metres, you hit the bow first, often into a bit of current, so be ready for that. The ship lies on her port side, mostly intact, though time and trawlers have taken their toll. Our favourite part is the stern section, where the stern gun is still clearly visible. You can fin around the bridge area, imagining the chaos of her final moments. The visibility can be a bit of a gamble in the North Sea, but when it’s good, you’ll find cod, conger eels, and decent-sized lobsters tucked into every nook. It’s a proper expedition dive, best suited for experienced wreck divers comfortable with depth and sometimes challenging conditions. Give yourself plenty of bottom time to really appreciate her.
