About S/S Nicomedia

S/S Nicomedia is a Baltic wreck dive off Sweden, part of the German cargo ships sunk by E19 in 1915. It is a deep boat dive for experienced divers, with the wreck sitting in the mid-20s to upper-30s meters and the structure now starting to break apart. The dive is about history, hull shape, and careful planning rather than bright water or easy access. Treat it as a serious wreck outing that rewards disciplined buoyancy and gas management.
