Why dive here
With 66+ marine species recorded in the area - including jellyfish lake - BRIS offers some of Bornholm's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
Dropping onto the BRIS, you’re looking at a yacht that went down in 1968. She sits upright, pretty much intact, at a decent 40 metres. You can swim through parts of the superstructure, which makes for some satisfying exploration, especially when the light filters down through the Baltic's green water. We've seen some decent-sized cod patrolling the decks, along with the usual crabs tucked into crevices. It's a proper wreck dive, best for those comfortable with depth and perhaps a bit of current on the descent. We’d suggest saving this one for a calm day to make the most of the visibility.
