Sheltered shore bay on Hamburgö
Hamburgö - large bay is a sheltered Swedish bay dive with a gentle sand-and-rock slope, weed patches and plenty of easy structure for a relaxed session. The site is comfortable for beginners, underwater photography and night diving, with the bay dropping gradually instead of falling away fast. Plan on a shore entry from the bay side and watch for southeast winds, which are the main weather wrinkle. Expect wrasse, pipefish, crabs, nudibranchs and the usual small-life mix in the weeds and cracks.
