Why dive here
With 121+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, orcas and seals & sea lions - SEATTLE offers some of West Coast (Gothenburg)'s richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The *Seattle* sits in about 16 metres, a cargo vessel that met its end in a gale back in '77. She’s surprisingly intact, lying on her side which makes for some interesting swim-throughs if you're comfortable with overhead environments. We’ve found her holds are often full of cod, sometimes big ones, and the deck plates attract plenty of wrasse darting in and out of the rusted metal. Visibility here can be a bit variable, so pick a calm day if you can, but it’s a solid wreck dive for those looking for something a bit more substantial than just rock formations.
