About this dive site

This dive site features the LaBelle, a 12-meter sailboat wreck resting on its port side. The wreck is notably well-preserved, with its mast still lying alongside the hull and the rudder blade intact. As there is no specific historical account provided, its story remains a mystery, adding an element of exploration to the dive. Divers can easily navigate around the exterior of the wreck.

The LaBelle wreck has become an artificial reef, heavily overgrown with marine life. Several groups of fish have settled in, utilizing the wreck for shelter and foraging. Baltic Sea crabs are also a common sight, enjoying the nooks and crannies of the structure, making it a great spot for observing crustaceans.

The best time to visit this dive site for optimal conditions is typically during the warmer months when water temperatures are milder and visibility can be better in the Baltic Sea. The wreck's shallow depth and light currents make it suitable for both beginner divers and freedivers looking to explore a fascinating underwater structure and its resident marine life. Always be prepared for cold water conditions typical of the Baltic Sea.
