    The *Marne* is a shallow wreck dive just off the coast near Gothenburg, perfect for those looking to explore a piece of history without deep-diving equipment. Lying in a mere five metres of water, the motor vessel's remains are surprisingly intact for such a shallow site, giving you a good sense of its original structure. We’ve found plenty of small crabs scuttling over the hull and dense blankets of anemones have colonised the exposed metal. It's an ideal spot for newer drysuit divers or anyone keen on extending their bottom time in cooler waters, offering easy access and plenty to poke around.
