WOSI - North Sea Coast
The WOSI wreck sits at 12 metres off the North Sea Coast, an accessible dive for most certification levels. It's a non-dangerous wreck, meaning penetration isn't recommended, but there's plenty to see from the outside. Expect to find conger eels tucked into crevices and various fish species swimming around the decaying metal, which has become a stable home for many creatures. It’s a good option for divers looking for a straightforward wreck dive without strong currents or deep profiles.
