About The Borgny Wreck

The Borgny was a Norwegian registered merchant vessel which sank on 22 February 1918 after being hit by a German Submarine. Today she rests in a depth of 27 meters in a flatsandy bottom where she is enveloped in corals and surrounded by a beautiful display of marine life. She is fairly broken up and great for exploring. Medium currents are common, thus this site is recommended for intermediate to advanced level divers.
