About Wreck Heino
Wreck Heino is a compact tugboat wreck off Aegna that works best as a simple boat drop rather than a search dive. The wreck is broken at the bridge and engine-room area, but the hull, helm and machinery still give a clear swimaround. It suits newer wreck divers when the sea is settled, with a short approach from Tallinn and no complex route to manage.
