Why dive here
With 121+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, orcas and seals & sea lions - Tristeingrunnen offers some of West Coast (Gothenburg)'s richest diving. Water ranges 3-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
Tristeingrunnen, just off Gothenburg, gives you a solid taste of what diving the Swedish west coast is all about. It’s a reef dive, though not in the tropical sense; think more rock formations draped with kelp and colder water corals. We’ve seen Atlantic cod drift by, sometimes even whiting shadowing them. The light here can be moody, especially deeper, but it’s a good spot for divers looking to explore a colder, northern European ecosystem and don’t mind a bit of a chill. Just keep an eye out for dog whelks clinging to the rocks.
Safety Notes
Cold water this month (avg 13°C). Drysuit or thick wetsuit (7mm+) recommended.
