Why dive here
With 50+ marine species recorded in the area - including dwarf minke whales and jellyfish lake - S/S Hindenburg offers some of Baltic Coast's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 1-17°C, warmest July, August, September.
Dropping onto the S/S Hindenburg, you're immediately struck by the sheer scale of this cargo ship. She sits upright at 42 metres, largely intact, with her mast still reaching skyward like a skeletal finger. We've often spent most of our bottom time exploring the holds, which are surprisingly open and offer some good penetration for properly trained wreck divers. Look for the large propeller, often shrouded in a fine layer of silt kicked up by the thermocline. It’s a serious dive, best suited for experienced cold-water wreck enthusiasts comfortable with deeper profiles and the Baltic’s often chilly embrace.
