Why dive here
With 66+ marine species recorded in the area - including jellyfish lake - JOTUN offers some of Bornholm's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Jotun, a motor vessel that capsized in a hurricane back in 1990, now rests upright off Bornholm at 45 metres. It's a deep dive, definitely one for those comfortable with their trim and buoyancy, but the wreck itself is impressively intact. At 66 metres long, you can trace the deck, peer into the superstructure, and imagine the last moments before she went down. The Baltic’s cold, nutrient-rich waters mean plenty of life has made a home here: we’ve seen cod lurking in the holds and wolf fish tucked into crevices. Visibility can be a challenge, so pick a calm day.
