Väderöarna is also known as Wäterö.

Väderöarna

One of the best sites in the area, but also difficult access due to sea conditions. Flat ocean makes a great divesite. Good kelp = lots of fish. Crevices with lobster. Sandbottom with both anemones and other bottom dwellers, like rays.

An reef starting at 5 meters. Falling bottom lesser to the east, but quicker deeper to the south.

Ullvillarna

Rich wildlife including crabs and lobsters, cods etc.

From Smögen or Kungshamn harbors.

Dragsholme

Big boulders, overhangs (almost caverns) down to 24 metres. The sandy slope. Shallower and more interesting if you swim from the middle of the bay and north (around the skerries). Swim south for deeper water, walls and larger fish on the sand bottom.

Drive down to the marina and ask for permission to park (usually not a problem in off season)
gear up and enter the water at end of pier swim across (westerly) to rock and descend along the wall.

Jordfall, Gullmarn

My favorite dive site in Scandinavia!

Extremely easy access, good visibility, reasonably sheltered and TEAMING with life. Lots of different fishes, including some big ones (by Scandinavian standards), lots of different crabs, and superbeautiful beds of seaweed.

You simply swim out along the wall til you reach your chosen air pressure, after which you either double back or go straight to the surface. The seaweed beds are a perfect place for a prolonged safety stop ;-)

Just go out on the pier, kit up and jump in. Its about a 30 m surface swim to the start of the dive.

Släggö

This small cluster of rocks in open ocean offers multiple dive sites. South/south-west side starting with boulders changing to sand bottom between 16 and 22 meters. Good fishlife here. On the line between the southern most rocks there is a steep wall with corals and anemones. North and east the bottom slopes gentle, covered with boulders and rocks. Less plants and softcorals here, but good fish-life.

This dive site is easy to navigate, often with good visibility but prone to surface currents and waves.

Kostersten is a cluster of 4-5 rocks with a small "lagoon" in between. The largest rocks is facing west.

Skår, Gullmarn is a 0-star rated scuba dive and snorkel destination in Sweden, West coast which is accessible from shore based on 0 ratings.

Skår, Gullmarn

It drops off quickly, but not as an vertical wall. There are boulders, shelves and canyons, pending where you are diving. Lots of seanemones, huge white sea urchins and some reef fish like species of Labridae (Ballan wrasse and Cuckoo Wrasse). Small-spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula) has been observed at this site twice on night dives.
