Dive Site - SS Nord
If you are into wrecks then this is a great dive. The SS
Nord is an 81 metre long, 12.75 metre wide, 1,840 ton
freighter. It sank in the afternoon of 7 November 1915
after hitting 'The Needle' just near 'The Hippolytes'.
The wreck is for experienced divers comfortable with
bluewater ascents with maximum depths around 41m.
We recommend the use of redundant air systems for
safety. There is plenty of structure to investigate and the
wreck hosts many schools of fish.Not a club member yet? Join up for access to more information about this dive site. If you are already a member, then login at the top right of the website to see more dive site detail.
