Why dive here
With 121+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, orcas and seals & sea lions - Ormestad offers some of West Coast (Gothenburg)'s richest diving. Water ranges 3-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
Ormestad, near Gothenburg, offers a typical West Coast dive, meaning colder waters and good chances of seeing common crabs and lobsters scuttling among the rocks. We often find schooling pollack here, along with flatfish on sandy patches. It's a straightforward shore dive, well-suited for those looking for an easy entry and a relaxed poke around. Expect a pleasant dive, not a spectacular one.
Safety Notes
Cold water this month (avg 13°C). Drysuit or thick wetsuit (7mm+) recommended.
