Dive-site story
Situated along the rocky northern flanks of the Kullaberg peninsula, Arild provides access to dramatic underwater terrain typical of Skåne's marine reserve. Boulders, crevices, and stone reefs create shelter for cold-water fauna beneath dense canopies of sugar kelp and bladderwrack. Steeper rock slopes descend toward sandy flats where flatfish and crustaceans feed.
Rugged granite boulder fields covered in macro life and dead man's fingers
Kelp forests supporting schools of juvenile gadoids and wrasse
Excellent night diving opportunities for spotting active European lobsters and nocturnal predators
