GUSTAV

GUSTAV isn’t about big pelagics or technicolor reefs, this is proper northern wreck diving. We’re talking about a schooner, sunk back in ‘42, lying in just 6 metres of water. It’s a shallow dive, easy enough for newer divers, but with enough character to keep experienced wreckies happy. We love that you can spend a solid hour poking around the remains, imagining the old sailing days. The hull is pretty broken up, but the ribs and keel give it a skeletal feel, which we find genuinely atmospheric. You’ll see schools of small coalfish darting through the timbers, and if you look closely, plenty of blennies tucked into crevices. Our favourite part is navigating through the scattered debris field; bits of mast and rigging lie strewn around, each piece telling a silent story. Visibility here can be a bit variable, often better early in the morning before the wind picks up, so check the forecast. It’s a cool, slightly eerie dive, definitely one to experience if you’re exploring Bornholm’s coast.
