Best for intermediate divers, 18-43m, boat entry, moderate current.
The Rodina is a deliberately sunk wreck located 30 metres off the coast of Sozopol, Bulgaria. Resting on the seabed at depths between 18 and 43 metres, this artificial reef is suited for intermediate divers. The site requires boat access and is subject to moderate currents that can shift quickly at depth. Visibility varies significantly, ranging from 5 to 20 metres. Water temperatures fluctuate between 8 and 22 degrees Celsius, necessitating a thick wetsuit or drysuit outside the summer months. Due to the depth and potential for entanglement, divers should maintain good buoyancy control and consider guided tours to navigate the structure safely.
