Ekenabben Vrakkyrkogården
Historic Baltic wreck field with easy access and strong heritage value.
Shallow-to-moderate cold-water wreck area off Ekenabben, where navigation across a spread-out archaeological field matters more than following one single hull.
About Ekenabben Vrakkyrkogården
Ekenabben Vrakkyrkogarden is a cold-water wreck cemetery in Djupasund where several deliberately sunk historic ships lie scattered across the strait between Sturko and Tjurko. The dive is less about one intact wreck and more about moving through a wider archaeological field, picking out hull remains, timbers, and barriers that once formed part of Karlskrona's sea defenses. The site is relatively accessible from Ekenabben, but the planning reality is still Baltic cold water, limited visibility on some days, and a heritage setting where careful finning and no-touch discipline matter. It suits divers who value maritime history and atmosphere more than bright reef life or dramatic depth.

Local Intel For Ekenabben Vrakkyrkogården
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best suited to scuba divers who are comfortable with cold water, navigation over a spread-out bottom, and a history-led dive rather than a fish-focused one.
Freediving
Not a common freedive site in public references because the appeal is wreck interpretation in cold water rather than short depth drops or clear blue-water structure.
Snorkeling
Not practical as a general snorkel site because the wreck remains sit below easy surface viewing and local visibility can be limited.
