BRATTVIK
Why dive here
With 121+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, orcas and seals & sea lions - BRATTVIK offers some of West Coast (Gothenburg)'s richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
Out on the West Coast, just a short run from Gothenburg, Brattvik offers a different kind of dive. This isn't your typical reef; it's a fishing vessel, capsized and resting close to the west of Skagen. We've found the wreck itself provides a solid structure for navigation, with crabs and small lobsters tucked into the deeper parts of the hull. Visibility can be a bit variable here, depending on the season and recent weather, so pick a calm day. It's a dive that rewards a slow pace, letting you really take in the scale of the vessel and the life that's made it home.
