Why dive here
With 121+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, orcas and seals & sea lions - SENATOR offers some of West Coast (Gothenburg)'s richest wreck diving. Water ranges 3-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Senator offers a shallow dip into Swedish maritime history, right near Gothenburg. This motor vessel went down in 1969, ran aground after engine trouble, and now sits in just two meters of water. It’s a great spot for newer divers, or anyone keen on a leisurely exploration. We find the Senator's superstructure still quite intact, providing plenty of nooks and crannies for small cod and blennies to shelter. The wreck is easy to navigate, with light filtering through even on an overcast day, highlighting the rusting metal and the life that’s made it home.
