KOL-112

KOL-112 isn't some deep, dark ghost ship, and that's exactly why we love it. This German cargo vessel, sunk in 1943 by a Soviet mine, rests in just 13 metres of water, making it a fantastic dive for newer wreck enthusiasts or those who just want to spend some serious bottom time exploring. The stern, in particular, is a highlight; the rudder and propeller are still perfectly intact, a testament to the steel that held up against the blast. We'd suggest a calm day to really enjoy the details. You can poke around the hold, imagining the cargo it once carried, or check out the bow section, which lies a little further away, almost a separate dive in itself. The visibility here can be tricky, often typical Baltic green, but that just adds to the atmospheric gloom of the wreck. Look closely, and you’ll spot gobies darting in and out of the crevices and blennies peeking from beneath the plating. It’s a proper piece of history brought to life by the sea, and our pick for a relaxing, intriguing wreck dive on Bornholm.
