Dive-site story
Located on the island of Dalarö in the Stockholm archipelago, Vadviken serves as a dependable training and recreation shore dive. Divers enter directly from the shallow shoreline into brackish waters. The seabed gently slopes outward over sand, silt, and patches of eelgrass, interspersed with old pier structures and small scuttled wooden boats that provide artificial habitat for local marine fauna.
Easy shore entry along a sheltered inlet in the southern Stockholm archipelago
Remnants of small wooden wrecks and harbor structures resting on the silty bottom
Night diving opportunities with resting predatory fish and Baltic invertebrates
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Late spring through autumn provides warmer surface temperatures and active fish life, though winter offers the clearest water for experienced cold-water divers.
