PLUS - Baltic Coast
The PLUS wreck, sitting at 22 metres, offers a distinct Baltic dive. We found her to be a sailing vessel, upright and relatively intact for a dangerous wreck, which always adds a bit of intrigue. Visibility here can vary a lot, but on a good day, the details of the hull and rigging are surprisingly clear, covered in a fuzzy blanket of mussels. It's a nice easy exploration for divers comfortable with colder water and wreck penetration isn't really an option, but finning around the exterior gives you plenty to see. If you're looking for a solid wreck dive with a bit of history to it, PLUS delivers.
