Diving the *Julie And Sophie* is a proper adventure, especially if you’ve got a soft spot for maritime history and a bit of a challenge. Dropping onto her, you immediately feel that cold North Sea embrace, a chill that sharpens the senses. We love how the wreck isn’t just a pile of metal, but a real time capsule, her structure still largely intact, giving you a sense of her original form. You’ll weave through the skeletal remains of her superstructure, torch beams cutting through the green gloom to reveal schools of saithe darting through doorways and a resident conger eel peering from a pipe. It's an atmospheric dive, perfect for those with drysuit experience and a keen eye for detail. We always suggest keeping an eye on the current here; it can pick up, making the descent and ascent more engaging, shall we say. Look out for the nudibranchs that cling to the rust-coloured plates – a splash of unexpected colour in the muted depths.
