Offshore wreck dive with tide-sensitive timing.
Hedwig Lunstedt is a wreck dive on a small German cargo ship that sank after her cargo shifted. The wreck lies on its starboard side offshore and gives a classic multi-level profile on steel, sand and broken cargo. Expect a boat-only dive with tide timing that matters, and enough current and open-water exposure to suit experienced wreck divers.
