Best for intermediate divers, 20m, boat entry, moderate current.
The Amazone Wreck lies at a constant depth of 20 metres in northern German waters. This site requires boat access and is suited for intermediate divers comfortable with cold water, moderate currents, and low visibility, which typically ranges from 3 to 5 metres. Due to the limited visibility and potential for current, navigation requires a methodical approach and the use of a torch is recommended. Water temperatures fluctuate between 4C and 16C throughout the year, necessitating appropriate thermal protection. The wreck structure provides a habitat for various temperate marine life, including local reef fish and invertebrates.

Check current predictions carefully before departure, as the moderate flow at this site can spike and makes hovering near the wreck structure more demanding than the Open Water qualification alone might suggest. Bring a torch even for daytime dives, since 3 to 5 metres of visibility in northern German waters can feel considerably darker around the wreck itself.
