EIRA
Why dive here
With 50+ marine species recorded in the area - including dwarf minke whales and jellyfish lake - EIRA offers some of Baltic Coast's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 1-17°C, warmest July, August, September.
Diving the EIRA means getting to grips with a big piece of steel history in the Baltic. This bulk carrier, all 116 metres of her, rests upright at 24 metres, making for a substantial dive even if you don't penetrate. We typically start at the stern, exploring the propeller and rudder, which are impressively intact. From there, you can trace the deck towards the bow, noting how the Baltic's cold embrace has preserved much of her superstructure. Visibility here can vary, but on a good day, you'll see the sheer scale of the ship emerge from the green. Look closely for cod and blennies that have made the hold their home – it's a stark, beautiful environment for divers who appreciate maritime history and a bit of a chill.
