LISE KATRINE - West Coast (Gothenburg)

The Lise Katrine, a fishing vessel that went down in 1993, is our pick for a decent wreck dive near Gothenburg. She sits upright, pretty much intact, at 50 metres, which makes this one for the experienced cold-water wreckies. We love how the wheelhouse is still there, and you can duck your head inside, a silent, dark space where the instruments once were. She’s not huge, maybe 20 metres long, but there’s enough here to keep you occupied for a good bottom time. Look for the massive propeller, still attached, and the way the fishing gear drapes across the deck, snagging on the metalwork. Cod and pollack often school around the superstructure, and the deeper sections always have a few curious conger eels peeking out from the darker corners. If you hit it on a day with good visibility, you can really appreciate the scale of her, suspended in the green water, a proper ghost ship.
