TUVINETS - Baltic Coast

Tuvinets is a proper little time capsule, a 20-meter tug that met its end in a storm back in the 1970s. We love it because it’s surprisingly intact, lying upright on the seabed at just 10 meters. The prop is still there, huge and imposing, and you can poke around the superstructure, imagining the crew on deck. It’s shallow enough for longer bottom times, which is great because there’s so much to absorb. You’ll find a surprising amount of life making a home in the wreck – wrasse darting in and out of the doorways, and sometimes schools of small fish hanging over the deck. Our favourite part is the engine room access; it’s a tight squeeze but totally worth it for the sense of history. Visibility can be a bit variable, typical Baltic stuff, so pick a calm day. This isn't a site for pelagics, but for wreck enthusiasts who appreciate the stories and the structure, Tuvinets is a standout.
