Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including seals & sea lions, sea turtles and jellyfish lake - SILVERY SEA offers some of North Sea Coast's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-19°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Silvery Sea, a trawler sunk after a collision in 1998, rests upright at 28 metres. She’s a decent size, nearly 38 metres long, and while the circumstances of her sinking are tragic, the wreck itself has become a fascinating dive. We’ve found her to be well-colonised by local North Sea species, particularly those small crabs and flatfish that seem to appear out of nowhere from the surrounding sand. Penetration is possible for experienced wreck divers, though we always recommend caution given her classification as dangerous. Visibility here can vary quite a bit, so pick your day carefully, but when it’s good, you can get a real sense of her structure, from the bow right back to the stern.
