Why dive here
With 66+ marine species recorded in the area - including jellyfish lake - BRUIN offers some of Bornholm's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Bruin wreck lies off Bornholm, a substantial motor vessel that went down in 1975 after a collision. She sits upright at 60 meters, making this a dive for experienced technical divers. We’ve found the stern section particularly intact, with the prop still visible and plenty of deck machinery to explore. Look for the large resident cod and conger eels that have made a home in the deeper parts of the wreck; they’re often quite curious. Visibility can vary, but on a good day, the scale of the Bruin is impressive.
