Why dive here
With 66+ marine species recorded in the area - including jellyfish lake - SIR HENRY MORGAN offers some of Bornholm's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Sir Henry Morgan, a cutter sunk in '93, offers a solid, easy wreck dive just off Bornholm. Lying shallow at 7 meters, it's perfect for a relaxed dive, even if you’re newer to wreck exploration. We found the wheelhouse and mast still largely intact, creating some interesting swim-throughs as long as you're comfortable with basic wreck penetration. Over the years, the wreck has become home to plenty of cod and flatfish, often tucked into the holds or under the deck plates. It’s a good little site for knocking out a couple of dives without needing to stress about current or deep stops.
