Why dive here
With 66+ marine species recorded in the area - including jellyfish lake - SAND TRANS offers some of Bornholm's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The SAND TRANS, a dredger that went down in 1978 after steering failure in rough seas, lies on a sandy bottom at 11 metres. It’s a good, accessible wreck for divers looking to explore something a bit different in Bornholm. The wreck itself is reasonably intact, with plenty of nooks and crannies to peer into, giving you a real sense of its former life as a working vessel. We often find local cod hanging around the superstructure, and if you're patient, you might spot flatfish camouflaged in the sand nearby. It’s a pretty calm dive most days, perfect for getting a good look around without battling currents.
