BIENE - Bornholm

The Biene wreck off Bornholm offers a moody dive into history. Sitting upright at 13 metres, she's surprisingly intact, though time and currents have opened her up in places. You'll find cod lurking in the holds and flatfish on the sandy seabed nearby. It's a straightforward wreck dive, good for those looking to explore a piece of the past without deep technical demands.
