    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    The Emma, a sailing vessel sunk on Devil's Bank in 1919, offers a shallow dive with a lot of character. At just 2 metres deep, it's perfect for a long, relaxed exploration, especially for newer drysuit divers or those honing their navigation skills. You’ll find the wreck spread out, broken up by decades of North Sea weather, but parts of the hull and scattered timbers are still visible. What really makes Emma interesting, though, is how the local marine life has embraced it; look for crabs tucked into crevices and schools of small fish darting amongst the wreckage. It’s a good spot to appreciate how quickly the sea reclaims its own.
