SCHIT - Baltic Coast
The SCHIT wreck on Sweden's Baltic Coast sits in just 10 metres of water, making it quite accessible. It’s a classified dangerous wreck, meaning it offers a raw, unrestored experience for divers who appreciate history and the elements. We’ve found various Baltic species, like flatfish and blennies, sheltering within the structure. This site really suits divers keen on exploring a stark, honest wreck that’s been claimed by the sea, without the need for deep dives.
