Hällebäck: easy-access Gullmarn shore dive
Hällebäck: easy-access Gullmarn shore dive
Hällebäck is a shore-access Gullmarn dive at the end of the road by a marina and small beach. It is easy to park, unload, and enter, but the site is mixed-use, so boat traffic and swimmers need attention. The right side offers walls and rock structure, while the left side drops into a deeper wall system, making it a useful local training and exploration spot.

Scuba Diving
The right side gives walls, stone piles, and cracks, while the left side drops into a deeper wall system. It is best for certified divers who can handle colder water and moderate visibility.
Freediving
Possible only as a cautious cold-water shoreline exploration in calm conditions; scuba is the more natural fit.
Snorkeling
Surface exploration is possible in the shallows, but the site is more rewarding for scuba than for relaxed snorkelling.
