Shallow Fehmarn wreck with fish swarms and an ammunition hazard
Shallow Fehmarn wreck with fish swarms and an ammunition hazard
Plan this as a local boat dive with a careful briefing and controlled descent.
MS Erner Kaulke is a shallow, heavily fissured wreck off Fehmarn, with only the hull standing proud above the seabed. It is a compact wreck dive rather than a penetration dive, with fish swarms gathering in the crevices and a clear need for precise buoyancy because ammunition remains on the bottom. The site rewards slow navigation and a close look at its low-profile structure.
