Why dive here
With 66+ marine species recorded in the area - including jellyfish lake - ATLANTIS offers some of Bornholm's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
Bornholm might not be the first place you think of for wreck diving, but the *Atlantis* makes a strong case for itself. This old fishing vessel, just 12 metres long, lies upright at a comfortable 18 metres, making it approachable for most divers comfortable with a bit of chill. We love the way the wreck has settled, almost like it’s still sailing the seabed, but now it’s sailing with a new crew. You’ll find the *Atlantis* absolutely coated in mussels, creating a shaggy, living skin over the hull. Slide your hand along it and you’ll feel the texture of countless shells. Beneath that, we’ve seen some decent-sized cod lurking in the shadows of the wheelhouse, and schools of blennies darting in and out of the cracks. Our favourite part has to be finning slowly over the stern, imagining the trawl nets that would have once deployed from here. It’s a genuinely evocative dive, perfect for a relaxed afternoon exploring a piece of local history, rather than battling currents or depth. Look for the small, almost camouflaged crabs clinging to the propeller.

ATLANTIS Wreck History
Vessel Type
fishing vessel
Cause
unknown
The history of the small fishing vessel Atlantis is unknown, but its final resting place near Bornholm, Denmark, offers an intriguing dive. At just 12 metres long and sitting in a shallow 18 metres of water, this wreck is highly accessible to divers of all levels. However, it is classified as a 'Dangerous Wreck,' likely due to entanglement hazards from old nets or sharp, decaying structures. Divers should exercise caution, but for those who do, the Atlantis serves as a compact artificial reef, attracting local marine life and offering a fascinating subject for underwater photography in the clear Baltic waters.
