Things to do · Destination Guide
Cold-water Baltic shipwrecks, Hel day boats and a living maritime coast.
Pick an activity mode to compare signature sites, skill fit, and gear planning notes before you lock your trip.
Cold-water shipwreck diving is the defining activity. Diving Centre Hel / Nurek: Baltic wreck departures lists outings from Hel to Wicher, Bryza, Kanonierka, Grozny, Delfin, Malutka and deeper sites. Choose an outer wreck profile within personal certification, drysuit competence and conditions. The official wreck list permits certain sites without a separate wreck license; it does not indicate a safe dive depth or permit penetration. Franken and other deep wrecks demand specialist technical training and gas planning. Maritime Office: official 2026 wreck and depth annex; Dive House Baltic: Franken wreck diving event.
Wicher
Official annex places the highest remaining part near 3 m and seabed at 21 m.
Grozny
Near Jastarnia, the wreck is recorded between roughly 11 m and 19 m; confirm actual planned profile with a local operator.
Delfin
Operator-listed Jastarnia wreck with recorded structure around 14 m and seabed at 21 m; an exterior-only, qualification-matched dive in good conditions.
Operator Checklist
Contact the actual Hel boat before selecting a date. Ask which legally listed wreck is planned, exact bottom/upper-structure depths, certification and drysuit checks, guide/boat ratio, departure port, current visibility, oxygen, gas supply, reserve plan and weather cancellation terms. Bring proof of certification and experience. A 2026 Franken event page is historical evidence only, not a bookable future sailing. Do not book sites by website depth shorthand alone.
