The RITA wreck lies at 23 metres off the North Sea Coast, a Danish site best suited for experienced wreck divers. You’ll find the remains classified as a dangerous wreck, meaning careful planning and advanced skills are essential here. Despite the inherent risks, the structure provides shelter for various fish species, making it an interesting artificial reef if you’re up for the challenge.
