About Docktor (Wreck)

Docktor is a shallow Fehmarn wreck dive built around a sunken dry dock broken into sections, with boat access and clear look-ins to the interior from the open Baltic. The site is popular for guided fun dives because it sits in relatively shallow water, holds steady fish life, and is easiest on settled days when the sea is calm and visibility is decent.
