Octopus AB - Bornholm
Octopus AB focuses on diving around Bornholm's unique granite coastline and the surrounding Baltic Sea. We'd suggest this centre for divers interested in colder water wreck diving, as the area has plenty of those. Shore dives are common, but they can arrange boat trips to deeper sites or to explore some of the more exposed rock formations. It’s a solid pick for those looking to experience Danish diving.
