Top Snorkeling and Scuba Diving in Sweden

Shore dive with visibility varying between low and medium. The current is generally negligible. Diving the rocky reef is the choice during the day. The reef is best reached by boat, unless you like a long surface swim. Here there's plenty of kelp, as well as various fish , molluscs, and crustians hidden away. Since Öresund is brackish water, you will also pass through the murky thermacline on this dive. During the night, the flat sandy bits are the place to go. You'll see plenty of buttom-dwelling fish, as well as free swimming cod and eel. A very good place for underwater photography :-) Ven Island. Just walk straight in from the stony beach.

Generally recognized as the best dive site within a couple of hours drive/sailing of Copenhagen. It is basically a long granite mountain jutting straight into several kilometers into the sea. It is oriented east-west, so unless the wind is very unfavorable, it is nearly always possible to find a sheltered place to dive. Its a rocky outcropping "Kullen" going into the sea between Helsingborg and Ängelholm. Its a national park, and the closest setlement is Mölle.

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.

South of Strängnäs on road 55.

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.

The bay features gently sloping sand/silt bottom. sometimes you see wolf fish here. Then follow the cliffs to the south where there are rocks and crevices. Best marine life between 8 and 20 metres.

Parc on the sholder gear up walk down to the water and enter in the small shallow bay, descend and follow the slope.

Start in the shallows on the north east side and move south east were you will find a drop-off. At 18-26 meters there are hang-overs. The walls are often covered with marine life. Look for the large colourful sea anemones. Keep an eye on your depth.

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.

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.

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.

Boat access, find using bottom sounder as there are no visual markers or transits.
