This dive site features the impressive wreck of the Docktor, a sunken dry dock in the Baltic Sea off Germany. The massive structure measures approximately 100m long, 13m high, and 7m wide. The wreck is broken both lengthwise and crosswise, creating fascinating opportunities for divers to explore its interior and navigate through its various sections. While no specific history is provided, it serves as an artificial reef, attracting marine life.
Below the surface, divers can encounter a variety of marine life adapted to the Baltic Sea environment. Common sightings include crabs, jellyfish, and numerous starfish. The wreck also serves as a habitat for small fish, cods, and plaice, providing a diverse ecosystem within its structure.
The best time to visit this dive site would likely be during the warmer months when water temperatures are more comfortable and visibility might be at its best, though Baltic Sea conditions can vary. Divers should be equipped for colder water temperatures typical of the region. Freedivers can explore the exterior of the wreck due to its shallow depth, while scuba divers can delve into its broken interior, requiring good buoyancy control and wreck diving experience for penetration.
