Why dive here
With 50+ marine species recorded in the area - including dwarf minke whales and jellyfish lake - SKIFTET offers some of Baltic Coast's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 1-17°C, warmest July, August, September.
Skiftet, a steamship wreck resting at 20 meters, offers a fascinating glimpse into Baltic maritime history. We’ve found her to be quite the character, with her bow pointing proudly towards the surface, almost inviting exploration. You can swim around her sturdy hull, noting the way the cold Baltic water has preserved much of her structure. While it’s officially a "dangerous wreck" due to its age and shifting parts, a careful diver can appreciate the dramatic scene. Look for the small, hardy fish and crabs that have made this metal skeleton their home. It's a solid dive for those who appreciate wrecks and don't mind the cooler water.
