IRMA
Why dive here
With 66+ marine species recorded in the area - including jellyfish lake - IRMA offers some of Bornholm's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Irma, a steamship wreck off Bornholm, sits at a shallow 11 meters, making it quite accessible. It’s officially classified as "dangerous," which really just means you need to be mindful, but it also adds to its allure. We found its skeletal structure has become home to quite a few local creatures. You’ll spot crabs scuttling over the plates and various small fish darting in and out of the nooks. It’s a site for divers who appreciate history and the slow reclamation of man-made objects by the sea, rather than a vibrant coral scene. Good for a relaxed dive, especially if you’re keen on exploring a piece of maritime past.
