Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including seals & sea lions, sea turtles and jellyfish lake - WOTAN offers some of North Sea Coast's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-19°C, warmest July, August, September.
The WOTAN, a dangerous wreck from its war service, now rests at 12 metres in the North Sea. It’s a site for divers comfortable with older, potentially compromised structures, offering a chance to explore a piece of history. Expect to find various crabs and small fish making homes in the metalwork, a common sight on these older, colonised wrecks. It's a straightforward dive for those looking to experience North Sea wreck diving without excessive depth.
