About Skiftet
Skiftet is a historic Åland wreck dive with a shallow upper deck, a deeper hull, and a broken profile that makes the wreck easy to read underwater. The site is a cold-water, permit-based wreck that rewards calm-weather planning, careful buoyancy, and respect for the structure rather than reef-style fish watching. It is best treated as a guided Baltic wreck dive with a strong historical focus.
