Why dive here
With 66+ marine species recorded in the area - including jellyfish lake - MEDEA offers some of Bornholm's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Medea wreck lies at an accessible 11 metres, making it a good spot for newer wreck divers on Bornholm. She’s a dangerous wreck, so we’re not talking about deep penetration, but her structure offers plenty to explore on the exterior. Expect to find cod and various crabs hiding amongst the metal, especially in the shadowed areas. It’s a solid afternoon dive if you’re looking for a straightforward wreck experience.
