Best for beginner divers, 10-21m, shore & boat entry, mild current.
The ORP Bryza is a sunken vessel located 50 metres off the Hel Peninsula. Resting at depths between 10 and 21 metres, this artificial reef is suitable for beginners. Divers experience mild currents and visibility ranging from 5 to 15 metres. The wreck structure provides an interesting layout, though divers should be aware of potential entanglement risks and stick to the exterior. Water temperatures are cold, ranging from 4 to 17 degrees Celsius, necessitating a drysuit or thick wetsuit. Shore and boat entries are both possible, though surf conditions should be checked before attempting a shore entry. Surface marker buoys are recommended due to local boat traffic.

Shore or boat entry is both available, but check sea conditions before committing to a shore entry as surf and a shore break can make it awkward. On-site facilities include air fills, a dive shop, and guided tours, so booking a guided first dive is a sensible way to learn the wreck layout before exploring independently.
Drive to the Hel Peninsula, park at the end of the quay near the Marine Station (Dom Morświna). Access is possible from the shore or by boat.
