Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including seals & sea lions, sea turtles and jellyfish lake - SPRINE offers some of North Sea Coast's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-19°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Sprine is a fishing vessel, now a broken wreck lying at a shallow 15 metres on the North Sea coast. It's classified as dangerous, so while you can get a good look at the remains, penetration isn't really an option here. Instead, you'll find plenty of resident fish – cod and flatfish are common, and the structure attracts plenty of smaller critters too. This is a solid dive for anyone looking to explore a piece of local history, without needing advanced skills. A decent choice when you’re in the area and fancy a straightforward wreck dive.
