Campground shore dive in Gullmarn Fjord
Campground shore dive in Gullmarn Fjord
Fossen Camping is a shore dive in Gullmarn Fjord, reached through the campsite when it is open. The entry is close to the water with a small fee, toilet access, and an equipment bench nearby, and underwater you get a shallow silty bottom, rocky patches, eelgrass, and wall sections. It works well for divers who are happy with a cold-water fjord profile and a simple camp-based access plan, especially when they want an easy in-and-out and a relaxed surface interval.

Scuba Diving
Suitable from beginner to expert, with a silty bottom, rocky patches, wall sections, and eelgrass.
Freediving
Better suited to scuba than freediving because the water is cold and the site is easy to silt out.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is limited by cold water and silt, so the site is better treated as a scuba dive.
