HERRIESBURN

Herriesburn isn't your flashy, intact wreck, but that's precisely why we love it. Sunk in 1956, this isn't a museum piece; it’s a skeleton, scattered across the seabed at 24 metres. What you get here is a proper historical dive, feeling the weight of its story as you navigate the debris. We've spent dives just poking through the twisted metal, finding little nooks where conger eels lurk, and the occasional lumpfish clings to a plate. Visibility can swing wildly with the Baltic, but on a good day, the light filtering down gives the whole site an ethereal, blue glow. This is a dive for wreck enthusiasts who appreciate the history and the slow colonisation by marine life over pristine structure. There’s a quiet beauty to it, watching schools of cod weave through the ribs of the hull, making it their home. Our pick for a second dive on a Bornholm trip, especially if you want to escape the more crowded spots.
