Akula
Why dive here
With 50+ marine species recorded in the area - including dwarf minke whales and jellyfish lake - Akula offers some of Baltic Coast's richest wreck diving. Water sits around 1°C.
The Akula wreck, sitting at 30 metres on the Baltic Coast, is a serious dive for experienced wreck enthusiasts. It's a dangerous wreck, no question, so come prepared with the right training and gear. Down there, you'll find an old submarine, its form well-preserved by the cold, dark water. It’s a challenging but rewarding site, where the thrill is in exploring the vessel itself, rather than abundant marine life.
