Easy Stockholm shore dive with parking, perch, and occasional seals.
Båtmans Brygga is a convenient Stockholm archipelago shore dive with good parking and an easy walk from the car to the water. The bottom slopes gently before turning into a wall, which makes it a useful local training and short-visit site rather than a dramatic offshore dive. Wildlife is modest but reliable: perch are seen on most dives, seals are sometimes spotted at the surface, and the site works well when you want a straightforward cold-water shore entry close to the city.
