Why dive here
With 66+ marine species recorded in the area - including jellyfish lake - ELLAN offers some of Bornholm's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Ellan is a classic Bornholm wreck, sitting upright at 21 meters. It's a wooden sailing ship, and while time has taken its toll, the hull outline is still very clear. You can explore the bow and stern sections, which offer some nice swim-throughs as the wood has opened up. Cod often lurk in the shadows, and there's a good chance of spotting crabs scuttling across the deck timbers. It’s a solid dive for wreck enthusiasts comfortable with moderate depths.
