Why dive here
With 66+ marine species recorded in the area - including jellyfish lake - BRITT offers some of Bornholm's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Britt, a steamship sunk in 1939, sits upright in about 30 metres of water off Bornholm. This isn't a huge wreck, but she's remarkably intact, making for an interesting penetration if you're comfortable with overhead environments and the right training. You can duck into the hold where light filters through, or explore the bow and stern, both still clearly defined. Expect to find a decent population of crabs and flatfish tucked into the nooks, with the occasional cod patrolling the deck. It's a solid dive for anyone with some wreck experience looking for a piece of history in the Baltic.
