KRIEGSMARINE SHIPWRECKS 2024

GENERAL PLAN

We plan to perform a series of dives on the wrecks of German Navy ships sunk during World War II in the proximity of Gdańsk, Poland.

WHY?

We want to better understand and document the history of local wrecks of warships serving in the navy of the Third Reich during World War II.

HOW?

There are at least a dozen German shipwrecks in the vicinity of our area – the Bay of Gdańsk. Examples of wrecks we will visit are: Franken, Minesweeper Munin, U-272, U-367 and many more. Planned depth range: from 30m to 70m – depending on the team’s preferences. Depending on weather conditions and the number of divers, we plan to spend up to 7 days on diving!

FOR WHOM?

This diving trip is addressed to divers on GUE T1 / GUE CCR1 level or higher.

DATES AND LOGISTICS

We booked our boat operator from 1st until 7th July 2024.

Our base is located close to the center of Gdańsk. We provide gas fills (Trimix, Nitrox, Oxygen), equipment rental including twinsets, stages and weights.

Boat:
THORR is a former part-boat (WISLOKA class) of the Polish Maritime Border Guard, taken over by a private owner and adapted for diving expeditions. It is equipped with a lift, benches and a lot of space :-).

Accommodation:

We can offer you budget rooms in our diving center for 15€ per night.

Alternatively, you can find many accommodation options at: https://www.booking.com/ and https://www.airbnb.com/.

Important note:
The weather at the Baltic Sea is very difficult to predict. We have to be flexible and adapt to weather conditions. What will we do if one day we can’t go out of the harbour? We will still dive on other wrecks that will be sheltered or in local lakes! We can also visit some of local attractions (see below).

You will for sure not get bored 🙂

Cost of every additional day depends on the wreck we choose to dive on. It can be from 100€ to 160 € per day.

Cost of gases: 

  • Trimix = 0.10 € per litre of helium (oxygen and nitrogen included)
    The price of helium might slightly change – we hope that it will actually drop a bit 🙂

    For example: twinset 2×12 filled to 200 bar = 6 €

    For example:
    11L (S80) = 11 €
