Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including seals & sea lions, sea turtles and jellyfish lake - ORION offers some of North Sea Coast's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-19°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Orion, a schooner wreck resting at 17 metres, offers a straightforward dive on the North Sea coast. The vessel is broken but still identifiable, providing plenty of nooks for small fish and crabs. We've found it’s a good spot for divers looking to explore a piece of maritime history without challenging conditions. Visibility can vary, but on a good day, the wreck stands out clearly against the sandy bottom.
