Diving with UDG, I was able to visit this beautiful wreck thrice during the US summer camp 2010. Totally worth it every time. Thanks to Sami S for the initial tour!

Diving with 20/20 trimix, I was given a tour of this "U-boot-jäger" by Kasnäs Watersports Eki. This warship sank in 1941 when it hit a mine.

Note: I guess you need a special permission from the Finlands Military Museum to dive here. Try to ask a trip from Kasnäs Watersports.
