Why dive here
With 66+ marine species recorded in the area - including jellyfish lake - Havheksen offers some of Bornholm's richest diving. Water ranges 3-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
Havheksen, off Bornholm, gives you a real taste of Baltic diving. We found it’s less about bright corals and more about the tough, fascinating species that thrive in these northern waters. Think thick beds of blue mussels and the occasional ocean quahog burrowing in the sand. You’ll likely spot decent numbers of Atlantic cod and saithe, swimming alongside schools of sprat. It’s a good spot for divers keen on observing fish behavior and the hardy invertebrate life of a temperate sea, rather than big pelagics or technicolor reefs. If you appreciate subtle beauty and unique adaptations, Havheksen delivers.
Safety Notes
Cold water this month (avg 14°C). Drysuit or thick wetsuit (7mm+) recommended.
