NORDJYDEN
Why dive here
With 121+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, orcas and seals & sea lions - NORDJYDEN offers some of West Coast (Gothenburg)'s richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Nordjyden, a fishing vessel that met its end off Sweden’s West Coast, offers a surprisingly engaging dive. Dropping down to 21 metres, you’ll find her largely intact, resting on a sandy bottom. We love the way she sits upright, almost as if still sailing, which makes navigation simple. You can glide along her decks, peer into the wheelhouse, and explore the holds, where we’ve seen some seriously chunky cod lurking in the shadows. The structure itself is a haven; it’s not unusual to spot flatfish nestled against the hull or schools of pollock swirling around the mast. The Nordjyden is our pick for divers who appreciate a wreck with good visibility and straightforward access, perfect for a relaxed exploration rather than a challenging penetration. We’d suggest going on a calm day for the best light penetration into the interior spaces.
