Why dive here
With 121+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, orcas and seals & sea lions - ROSE-MARIE offers some of West Coast (Gothenburg)'s richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Rose-Marie, a motor vessel that went down in '84, offers a solid wreck dive off Sweden’s West Coast. She’s sitting upright at a comfortable 17 meters, which makes for decent bottom time without pushing deco limits too hard. We usually find schools of juvenile cod and blennies poking around her superstructure. You can penetrate the hold if you’re comfortable with overhead environments, where crabs and lobsters often shelter. Visibility can swing a bit with the season, but even on an average day, her 46-meter length gives you plenty to explore for a relaxed dive.
