Fu Shan Hai - Northern Europes largest wreck.
225 meters long - 33 meters wide - 69 meters deep

The diving ban has been lifted to day, januar 30. 2007

On a sunny day in May 2003 the two ships: Fu Shan Hai and Gdynia collided just 3 nautical miles of the Danish island Bornholm. Only 8 hours later Fu Shan Hai vanished from the calm waters of the Baltic, only to end at 69 meters of water at the bottom of the ocean.

The wreck was secured from oil leeks, but despite the good visibility around Bornholm the wreck was banned for diving. Much to the regret for all the Danish, Swedish and German divers who now had the biggest wreck in Northern European waters on their doorstep.

From July 29. to August 5. 2006 a group of Technical Divers have been given permission to dive the wreck and document the condition. If the project is a success the Danish Authorities will consider removing the ban.



The project is completed

We have completed 68 dives on the wreck. This is a bit lees than expected but we had some windy weather for four days.
