CEYLON

The *Ceylon* off Bornholm is one of those wrecks that just hits right, especially if you’re into a bit of history with your dive. She’s a barque, went down in 1908, and sits at a comfortable 19 metres. What we love about the *Ceylon* is how intact she feels for her age, with parts of the hull still standing proud, creating some fantastic swim-throughs. You’ll find cod sheltering in the darker corners, and crabs scuttling over the timbers, feeling their way around the structure. The light, when it filters down, catches the outlines beautifully, making the whole site feel a bit like diving through a ghost ship. Visibility here can swing a bit, so we’d always suggest checking local conditions before you head out, but on a good day, it’s remarkably clear. We’ve found the best time to dive her is mornings, before any boat traffic stirs up the sediment. This wreck really suits divers who appreciate the atmospheric side of things, those who enjoy imagining the life she had before the sea claimed her.
