The Åland sea is a haven for shipwreck diving. Altogether there are some 500 known wrecks in the sea surrounding Åland, but it is estimated that the figure could be doubled.
The shipwreck diving sites in Åland are extremely well preserved thanks to a unique diving legislation. Down at the wrecked vessels it feels as if time stands still. It looks as if the ship sank yesterday with all its details still intact.
