What people usually pay
Sweden has no countrywide scuba tourism levy identified in the official sources checked. Ordinary coastal visits differ from paid boat trips, guided diving and controlled heritage access. Some marine protected areas and wreck sites impose restrictions rather than an entry ticket. Schengen visa fees apply only to travelers required to obtain that visa; check exemptions and updates.
