Why dive here
With 121+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, orcas and seals & sea lions - Reel Diving offers some of West Coast (Gothenburg)'s richest diving. Water ranges 3-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
Reel Diving, just off the Gothenburg coast, is a straightforward shore dive, good for shaking off the rust or testing new gear. You'll find a bottom composed mostly of mud and fine sand, which means visibility can vary a bit depending on recent weather. We've often spotted common shore crabs scuttling about, and blue mussels cling to any available substrate. Keep an eye out for flatfish like dab or the occasional long rough dab blending into the bottom. It’s a low-key spot, ideal for a relaxed dive rather than a high-octane adventure.
Safety Notes
Cold water this month (avg 13°C). Drysuit or thick wetsuit (7mm+) recommended.
