Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including seals & sea lions, sea turtles and jellyfish lake - SOREN SANDHOLM offers some of North Sea Coast's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-19°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Soren Sandholm, a fishing vessel resting at 21 metres, offers a classic North Sea wreck dive. We've found the hull still largely intact, giving you plenty to explore around the wheelhouse and engine room, though penetration should be approached with caution given its 'dangerous wreck' classification. Around the stern, we’ve spotted cod and ling lurking in the shadows, along with a surprising number of crabs tucked into crevices. It's a solid dive for experienced wreck enthusiasts who appreciate the history and the rugged, cold-water marine life that makes these shipwrecks home. Just be prepared for typical North Sea visibility, which can vary quite a bit.
