About this dive site

This dive site features the MS Erner Kaulke, a shallow, very fissured wreck resting at an average depth of 2 meters with a maximum depth of 5 meters. Only the hull of the vessel is visible, rising approximately 60cm from the seabed. Divers must exercise excellent buoyancy control to avoid disturbing the wreck or the surrounding bottom, as there is unexploded ammunition present. Navigation involves exploring the hull structure and its many crevices in the Baltic Sea.

The MS Erner Kaulke has become an artificial reef, attracting numerous swarms of fish that have settled within its structures. While specific species are not detailed, the abundance of fish life provides vibrant activity around the wreck.

This site is best visited by divers with good buoyancy skills to ensure safety and respect for the historical wreck and its environment. It is crucial not to touch the wreck or any surrounding parts, nor to collect anything. The shallow depth makes it suitable for extended bottom times and is a great site for underwater photographers focusing on wreck details and fish swarms. No specific best time to visit is mentioned, but typical Baltic diving seasons apply.
