Why dive here
With 121+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, orcas and seals & sea lions - MARY offers some of West Coast (Gothenburg)'s richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The MARY, a fishing vessel that went down back in 1945, sits upright at 45 metres off Sweden’s West Coast. It's a proper wreck dive, dark and often cold, but a rewarding one if you’re comfortable with the depth and the chill. You'll find the main structure largely intact, with a visible bridge and holds. Over the years, the wreck has become a habitat for local critters – think cod, ling, and decent-sized crabs scuttling across the decks. We recommend proper drysuit gear and good wreck training for this one; it’s a dive that demands respect.
