EDITH
Why dive here
With 121+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, orcas and seals & sea lions - EDITH offers some of West Coast (Gothenburg)'s richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The trawler Edith, sitting at 15 metres, offers a straightforward wreck dive just off the West Coast. She went down in 1953, and time has given her a gentle covering of life; we’ve seen a good number of crabs scuttling across her decks and plenty of small fish darting in and out of the openings. For those new to wreck diving, or looking for an easy second dive, the Edith is a solid choice. The wreck is largely intact, making for some interesting swim-throughs if you're comfortable with overhead environments. Just keep an eye on your buoyancy; the silty bottom can kick up quickly.
