M/F Aerosund Ferry
Prepared Danish ferry wreck and artificial reef near Ballen.
Local operator required
A local club, centre, or experienced boat team is strongly recommended because the wreck is offshore, buoyed, and subject to local safety rules.
Boat access, mooring buoys, cold-water gear, and wreck discipline matter more than raw depth at this accessible but overhead-capable site.
About M/F Aerosund Ferry
M/F Aerosund Ferry is a purpose-prepared artificial reef wreck in the South Funen Archipelago, resting upright offshore from Ballen and marked for boat access. The ferry was cleaned before scuttling and opened for diver training, so the exterior and selected openings make it approachable for qualified wreck divers. It is still a real overhead-capable wreck: use a boat, fly the required dive flag, keep a boat handler topside, and avoid penetration unless trained, equipped, and using a line.

M/F Aerosund Ferry Planning Details
Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
6m - 19m
Depth Note
Public sources describe the funnel/top of the wreck at about 6 m and the seabed/deepest parts around 19 m.
Best Season
Most recreational planning is easiest in calmer, warmer months, but the wreck is used as a cold-water Danish training and club site when weather and boat logistics allow.
Typical Conditions
The wreck is shallow for a ferry wreck and sits in a relatively sheltered area, so conditions are often manageable when the weather cooperates. Cold water, silt, and weather changes remain the main planning factors.

Safety Notes
This is a wreck dive with potential overhead sections and silt inside the car deck. Do not enter enclosed areas without wreck training, a continuous guideline, redundant lights, and a conservative gas plan. Danish guidance also calls for an A flag and a boat handler aboard while diving.
Access Restrictions
Access is by boat from nearby ramps or harbours. The wreck is not a casual beginner site unless the diver is trained and guided.
Legal Notes
Use an A flag during diving and keep a boat operator aboard, as stated by the local geopark guidance. Follow local navigation and diving rules for the South Funen Archipelago.

Scuba Diving
A strong fit for qualified scuba divers, especially those training or practicing wreck skills. Exterior tours are relatively approachable, while penetration requires formal wreck procedures.
Freediving
The upper structure starts shallow enough to interest experienced freedivers in calm conditions, but the offshore location means boat cover and surface safety are essential.
