SS Nord Wreck
Tasman Peninsula, TAS
About SS Nord Wreck
The Nord lies on sand with its bow at about 43m and the sand beside the stern at about 40m. The engine and boilers stand highest, around 35m, and this is where Eaglehawk Dive Centre anchors. Yellow zoanthids, sea whips and sponges cover the wreck. Currents can run to the seabed, light is low at depth and most dives carry decompression stops, so it is for experienced deep divers only.
Visibility at SS Nord Wreck
Visibility at SS Nord Wreck typically ranges from 10 to 20 metres, though it shifts with swell, wind and recent rainfall. October-June, calm seas only; not diveable in southerly or south-westerly winds over 10-15 knots generally offers the best conditions for diving here.
Right now: approximately 9 m, 98% confidence (updated 23:38 AEDT).
