Why dive here
With 50+ marine species recorded in the area - including dwarf minke whales and jellyfish lake - MARTINA B offers some of Baltic Coast's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 1-17°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Martina B is a proper classic, just off the Baltic coast. She’s a 60-meter motor vessel that ran aground in ’73, and now she sits in a surprisingly accessible 6 meters of water. We love a wreck you can really spend time on without constantly checking your NDLs. This isn't a site about big pelagics, it's about the structure itself. Imagine gliding over her deck, seeing the mast still reaching up, and peering into cargo holds that are now home to thick swarms of juvenile cod and blennies darting between the frames. The wheelhouse is still largely intact, which is our favourite part; you can almost picture the captain. Visibility here can swing a bit, but on a good day, with the sun filtering through the shallow water, it’s quite atmospheric. We’d suggest going in late summer for the best chance of calm conditions and clearer water. It’s perfect for newer wreck divers or photographers wanting to practice composition on a well-preserved piece of history.
