Why dive here
With 66+ marine species recorded in the area - including jellyfish lake - Pengekisten offers some of Bornholm's richest diving. Water ranges 3-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
Pengekisten offers a sturdy wall dive with a good chance of seeing cod, particularly around its many crevices. The site is often calm, making it a decent choice for divers who appreciate a relaxed pace and want to spend time searching for smaller critters tucked into the rocks. We find it’s best suited for those looking for a quiet afternoon dive rather than a high-adrenaline experience.
Safety Notes
Cold water this month (avg 14°C). Drysuit or thick wetsuit (7mm+) recommended.
