Fossen Camping
Campground shore dive in Gullmarn Fjord
Shore entry through the campsite, close parking, and a shallow fjord profile with walls, eelgrass, and rocky patches.
About Fossen Camping
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.
