Today we dived to the wreck “Charlotte Amalia” , which sunk to the ocean floor in 1801 following a major sea battle outside the Danish capital Copenhagen. Unfortunately, the water visibility was low and a fairly strong current made filming difficult. Today, the wreck serves perfectly as an artificial reef providing protection for numerous species of fish and plants. A future development of wind turbines is also planned nearby.
