Waeteroe, on Sweden's West Coast near Gothenburg, offers a straightforward shore dive. You'll find a mix of rocky slopes and sandy patches, common for the area, with crabs scuttling amongst the seaweed. It’s a good spot for a relaxed dive, perhaps a shakedown dive, or for honing buoyancy skills without strong currents. We’d suggest it for newer divers or those looking for an easy afternoon in the water.
