Why dive here
With 66+ marine species recorded in the area - including jellyfish lake - IDA offers some of Bornholm's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
Diving the IDA off Bornholm brings you face to face with a piece of maritime history. This old steamship lies at a manageable 15 meters, an ideal depth for a comfortable dive. We found the wreck quite broken up, a stark reminder of its mined end, but that just means more nooks and crannies for the local critters. Expect to see cod lurking in the shadows of twisted metal and schools of small fish darting through the hull. It’s a site that suits divers keen on wreck exploration without extreme depths or currents.
