Best for advanced divers, 41-46m, boat entry, moderate current.
This unidentified wreck sits on the Romanian Black Sea shelf at depths between 41 and 46 metres. Designed for advanced divers, the site features a challenging environment with moderate currents and visibility typically ranging from 5 to 10 metres. A pronounced thermocline exists below 10 to 15 metres, where temperatures drop significantly to between 7 and 15 degrees Celsius. Divers should be prepared for cold water conditions, requiring appropriate thermal protection such as a drysuit. The wreck offers opportunities for both external survey and penetration, though navigation and buoyancy control are essential due to the depth and potential for reduced visibility.

Bottom time at this depth is tight, so plan your gas and deco carefully before splashing, and treat the thermocline as a navigation reference point on ascent. Cold water here bites hard even in summer, so a drysuit or a thick wetsuit with hood and gloves is essential rather than optional.
The site is accessible via shore entry or a very short boat ride.
