Why dive here
With 121+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, orcas and seals & sea lions - BRATTSKAER offers some of West Coast (Gothenburg)'s richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Brattskär wreck, a cutter vessel resting at 35 metres, is a solid dive out of Gothenburg, especially if you're into something a bit different from the usual reef. We’ve always found these North Sea wrecks have a particular atmosphere. She’s a decent size at 30.8 metres long, so there's a fair bit to poke around. You'll find her reasonably intact, and the cold water has preserved her structure well, though time and current have definitely left their mark. Look for the resident wrasse and crabs that have made this metal hull their home. It's a dive that rewards a slow, methodical exploration, perfect for advanced divers who appreciate the history and the quiet solitude of a shipwreck.
