Wreck – Stern

At the crevice, one first descends to the wreck of Casper, which is located diagonally to the right from the fissure. From Casper, a line should extend to Stern. The line should be attached to Casper’s mast. Swim outward in the direction of the mast for 50 to 75 meters, where you should encounter the bow.

The distance from Casper to Stern is considerable. The wreck is referred to as Stern, although it is not definitively known if that is its name. Stern is an approximately 350-year-old wooden wreck. It is believed to be a galley or a coastal corvette, which is smaller than a frigate. The vessel was rowable when it was afloat, and judging by how the oars were affixed, it likely belonged to Russia. The wreck primarily consists of a large pile of timber, yet it features many details to observe. There are intact iron cannons with carriages, and one can still discern the figurehead, which is significantly buried in the bottom sediment, as well as the carvings on the wreck.

The wreck is very old and is considered a historical monument; it is prohibited to touch or remove any objects.

This wreck requires advanced technical diving skills.

Directions:

Upon arriving at Fårö, turn left towards Lauter, just before the church. Right before the fishing village, take a right onto a small road that leads out to Digerhuvud. The fissure is located at the last parking area heading north before the coastline bends to the east.
