Why dive here
With 66+ marine species recorded in the area - including jellyfish lake - DORA offers some of Bornholm's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
DORA isn't your typical wreck dive, sitting in just one meter of water off Bornholm. This is a salvage wreck, broken up and scattered, meaning it's more of a rummage through history than a deep exploration. You'll find twisted metal and fragmented pieces, now home to small Baltic critters. It’s a site for those who enjoy hunting for artifacts and seeing how nature reclaims industrial remains, rather than grand structural integrity.
