Wreck diving in the Bay of Gdansk - what to sail on?

When planning a wreck dive from A to Z, we cannot omit such an important element as the vessel that will deliver us safely and comfortably to the dive site and take us back to port.

In the Tri-City there are several such boats, which have specialised in working with divers, know their needs and can provide appropriate standards. Remember that in order for our trip to run smoothly and without unnecessary complications, it is worth betting on someone with experience in the subject.

Below, I will try my best to present to you the profiles of the various vessels with which we can go to the bay.

M/Y Litoral is a motor yacht of fair dimensions. It is 18m long and 4.20m wide. She operates within 20 nautical miles of the coastline and is able to take 18 people on board. The benches on board are specially prepared to meet the needs of divers. For longer stays, there are 10 berths, a toilet and a kitchenette at our disposal. The dive lift is a big plus, especially for technical divers who take a lot of equipment underwater, but there is also a ladder to get aboard. On the Littoral, in case of emergency, there is a DAN rescue kit and a resuscitation deck.

If you decide to rent this vessel, you have access to a compressor and gas mixtures, you can rent single cylinders or double sets with different capacities. On a daily basis M/Y Litoral is stationed in the yacht harbour in Gdynia, but with an appropriate surcharge, there is no problem with waiting for us in Łeba or Władysławowo.

M/Y Sztorm – is a 10m vessel from the Conrad shipyard, equipped with a 100HP Andoria engine. On board she takes 10 divers in full equipment and boat service. She is equipped with a diving ladder and an open stern. If it rains during the voyage, we can hide inside, change clothes and drink something warm in favourable conditions. This is an experienced vessel that has seen a lot in the bay and has taken part in many dives.

Baltic Quest – One of the newest vessels among the diving “transporters”. It is a rib, equipped with two powerful Cummins QSD 2.8l 230 HP engines each, it is the right combination between power and economy. The BQ is Baltic class – unlimited and can stay on the water even at 6° on the Beaufort scale. The speed she develops allows her to move quickly between wrecks further apart. Additionally, it has a diving ladder and such gadgets as echo sounder and side scan sonar. In the bow section we have a rack adapted for mounting cylinders and sets for the time of the journey. On board we will take 10-12 people. The home port of this rib is Gdynia, but we can order it wherever is convenient for us.

Diving Baltic diving base, in its offer, has the opportunity to sail to the wrecks with one of their two ribs – Niser or Krol. The former is 7.5m long and the latter 5.5m long. The larger of the two has a 300 hp drive and is able to take 12 divers on board. In addition to a bench that makes it easier to put on scuba gear or a diving ladder, the vessel is equipped with devices that aid navigation and increase diving safety. As for the smaller rib, it has an 80 hp Yamaha engine and can take 5 divers on board with full equipment. This is an ideal alternative for small groups. Both vessels are equipped with oxygen sets, and after the dive we can count on hot tea.
