Why dive here
With 66+ marine species recorded in the area - including jellyfish lake - LOVEN offers some of Bornholm's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
Loven, off Bornholm, isn't a deep dive, peaking at just two metres. It’s an old sailing vessel that ran aground, a 21.9-metre hull now well-integrated into the shallows. We find it’s a surprisingly engaging spot for a leisurely exploration, particularly if you’re into wreck photography without the fuss of decompression limits. The wreck itself has become a home for small fish, and the timbers, worn smooth by the sea, show their age beautifully. It's a peaceful spot, ideal for a long, relaxed dive or even some extended snorkelling, and we think it offers a unique peek into maritime history without needing advanced certs.
