Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including seals & sea lions, sea turtles and jellyfish lake - SOLOVEN (PART OF) offers some of North Sea Coast's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-19°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Soloven, or what’s left of her, lies just two metres down off the North Sea Coast, making her a truly shallow dive. She was a patrol boat, and while classed as a "dangerous wreck" for navigation, for us divers it means an accessible peek into history. We've found the hull still offers shelter for various small fish and crabs, tucked into the twisted metal. It’s a site for those who appreciate the quiet intimacy of a very shallow wreck, where the light plays differently through the water, illuminating the remains of a vessel that once patrolled these very waters. Bring a macro lens, there’s plenty to find in the details.
