About Grönhögen Stenbrott
Grönhögen Stenbrott is a former limestone quarry on southern Öland with azure water, easy shore access and a beginner-friendly layout. The quarry mixes shallow plateaus, steel structures, bridges and a deeper south wall, so it feels varied without becoming technical. Plan it for warm-weather days if you want the clearest water and the easiest entry. Expect a casual freshwater dive with perch, crayfish and the odd amphibian around the quarry edges.
Safety & Access
Safety Notes
The south side drops faster than the north, so read the quarry before you descend and do not assume the shallow plateau extends everywhere.
Legal Notes
No special restriction surfaced beyond respecting the site and the access paths.
