Sheltered Bohuslan shore dive with close parking, toilets, and a silty crevice.
Jordfall is a sheltered shore-entry dive site in Gullmarsfjorden, reached by parking close to the water and entering left of the piers. The dive begins in a shallow harbor start, then moves onto a silty bottom with rocky patches and a notable crevice along the fjord edge. It suits buoyancy-conscious divers who want cold-water life, easy logistics, and a protected west-coast backup when open-coast sites are rough.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Start shallow, keep buoyancy tight so you do not stir the silt, and stay aware of harbor activity near the ramp.
Access Restrictions
Use the paid diver parking and the marked entry route; overflow parking may be farther from the water.
Legal Notes
Parking and ramp use are managed by Jordfalls Hamn AB and are fee-based.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A good shore dive for divers who can manage a shallow start that quickly deepens, with careful trim over silt and along the rocky edge.
Freediving
Only a shallow-start option for practice; the site is primarily a scuba shore dive because the bottom drops away quickly.
Snorkeling
Not a casual snorkel site, but the shallow harbor-side start can work for a short surface look before the bottom drops away.
Conservative baseline from public research. No community dives logged yet.
