Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including seals & sea lions, sea turtles and jellyfish lake - SKANSEN offers some of North Sea Coast's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-19°C, warmest July, August, September.
Skansen, off Denmark's North Sea Coast, is a dive for those who appreciate a solid wreck. This motor vessel went down fast in 1978, hitting a lighthouse foundation, and now rests at 17 metres. It’s a proper wreck, not just scattered debris, offering plenty to explore in and around the structure. You’ll find it’s home to a good variety of fish sheltering in the hold and around the superstructure. We’d say this is a site best suited for divers comfortable with overhead environments and limited visibility, as the North Sea can be a bit moody.
