The Baltic Sea offers unique diving conditions hard to match anywhere in the world. The salinity is very low as well as the oxygen level helping to preserve the wrecks in pristine condition. Even wood details remain intact. You can often see furniture in cabins and other details.
Diving excursions
Ocean Discovery has been involved in a marine archaeological survey of the SE Baltic Sea since 1999. Over thirty wrecks have been discovered to date. Ocean Discovery is now for the first time offering diving expeditions to some of the most interesting wrecks discovered. Many of the wrecks have only been dived a handful of times and the positions have been kept secret to protect the wrecks from salvage. You will get a chance to see ship bells and other unique details such as intact machine telegraphs and navigation instruments. Some of the wrecks we have located dates back to the 16th century. We also offer wreck hunting expeditions where you will get hands on experience on side scan sonar. Any wrecks found will be explored by you and your team. You and your dive team can also charter the diving boat complete with side scan sonar.
