Tommergraven - Bornholm

Tommergraven offers straightforward shore diving on Bornholm. We’ve found the site to be a good option for newer divers, with an easy entry and gradual slope. Expect to see flatfish, small crabs, and the occasional schooling fish like pollock among the rocks and seaweed. It’s a solid choice for a relaxed afternoon dive, not for big pelagics.
