Baltic Wreck Week is slowly becoming our summer tradition 🙂
This year, we focused on wrecks in the vicinity of Władysławowo. For some of the participants, these were the first wreck dives in the Baltic Sea, so we started by practicing safety procedures related to wreck diving.
As part of the expedition, the divers improved their wreck diving skills, line laying and learned basics of underwater photogrammetry.
The weather was favorable from the beginning to the end — we ended up for 5 days without waves, but with excellent visibility (over 15 m)!
The wreck of Christa (18m). A Danish merchant vessel built in 1939, sank on July 31, 1971. Currently, the wreck is heavily covered with sand. The propeller, rudder fin and part of the hull are still quite well preserved. The scan of the wreck was made by Katarzyna Zasada-Moćko.
Mount Vernon Wreck (20-29m). A steamship built in Norway in 1900. It sank in unexplained circumstances in 1947. A scan of a fragment of the stern was made by: Katarzyna Zasada-Močko and Bartek Trzciński
A part of the wreck of the Moskau (Parowiec Bliźniak). The model shows two steam boilers and a fragment of the ship’s side. The model was made by Katarzyna Zasada-Močko.
