Best for intermediate divers, 23-41m, boat entry, moderate current.
The Hinrich is a wreck dive located off Saint-Malo, France, resting at depths between 23 and 41 metres. This site is suited for intermediate divers due to the depth and the presence of moderate currents that can strengthen quickly. Visibility typically ranges from 5 to 10 metres, requiring methodical navigation through the structure. Given the water temperatures of 9 to 15 degrees Celsius, a drysuit or thick wetsuit is necessary. Access is by boat only. Divers should monitor depth gauges closely, manage potential entanglement risks, and use a surface marker buoy for a controlled ascent due to local boat traffic.

Plan your dive around slack water: the current at this site can shift from manageable to strong with little warning, and at depths approaching 41 metres you want bottom time working for you, not against you. Carry a surface marker buoy and deploy it before ascending, as boat traffic in the area makes a controlled, visible ascent important.
The site is located 5 miles north of La pointe de la Varde.
