    LN-PAA isn’t your typical Swedish wreck. We’re talking about an aircraft, a twin-engine Convair 340, which went down off Gothenburg in ‘89. It’s sitting upright at 25 metres, and we love the way it still looks so recognisably like a plane, despite the years it’s spent underwater. You can make out the cockpit, the wings, even the fuselage – it’s a genuinely eerie and fascinating dive. The visibility here can be a bit variable, so we always suggest checking local reports, but on a good day, the light filtering down onto the wreck is something else. Schools of cod and pollock often hover around the airframe, and you’ll spot plenty of blennies and gobies darting in and out of the structure. It’s a relatively shallow wreck too, meaning decent bottom time, and it’s a brilliant site for anyone who appreciates a bit of history with their dive, or just wants to explore something a little out of the ordinary.
