BORNEO (POSSIBLY)

We’ve spent a fair bit of time exploring the Baltic, and honestly, Borneo is one of those wrecks that really stands out. It's a fishing vessel, sitting upright in around 38 meters, and she's got a real story to tell even if the historical records are a bit spotty. Dropping down, the first thing you notice is the sheer intactness of it all. The superstructure is still largely there, letting you nose around the wheelhouse and imagine the crew fighting that heavy weather back in '75. Our favourite part is the stern, where the prop is still in place, almost daring you to get a closer look. The currents here can be a bit shifty, so we always suggest checking the local conditions before heading out, especially if you’re planning a deeper penetration. Visibility is often decent for the Baltic, maybe 10-15 meters on a good day, allowing the light to play off the encrusted metal. We’ve seen some hefty cod lurking in the holds, and the anenomes are starting to really take hold, painting the deck plates in soft purples and oranges. It’s a proper technical dive, and one that rewards the effort, offering a tangible connection to the sea's wilder history.
