This dive site presents a fascinating historical wreck experience. The area offers depths ranging from 20 to 29 meters, making it suitable for experienced divers comfortable with moderate depths and potential currents. A Swedish sailing vessel built in 1852, named Victor, sank in November 1897 due to a storm and fog while en route from Wismar to Vätö. The ship, identified as a skonerten, was deemed too old and deteriorated to be salvaged and remains resting on the seabed near the shore. Dives can be conducted using natural dives or with a chain line leading to the wreck. The site is located on Mysingen, where the ship ran aground due to adverse weather conditions. The wreck gradually slid deeper into the water over time. This dive offers a glimpse into maritime history and provides opportunities for underwater exploration of a well-preserved shipwreck.
