Best for beginner divers, Up to 31m, shore & boat entry, strong current.
Kanonierka is a shipwreck dive site located off the Hel Peninsula in Poland. The vessel rests on its keel at a depth of 31 metres, with a slight tilt to the starboard side. Following a 2009 explosion by navy divers, approximately one-third of the ship was destroyed, leaving significant debris scattered across the site. Divers should be aware of strong currents and the presence of lines and nets that pose an entanglement risk. Due to the depth, cold water temperatures ranging from 4C to 15C, and potential for low visibility, this site requires careful planning. Access is typically via boat, and the site is suitable for beginners.
